Mosaic Pale Ale

Tap to rate

Citrus, pine and subtle tropical fruit come from a blend of Eureka, Lemondrop and Citra hops in this unfiltered 5.2% pale ale, which sits on a smooth two-row malt base. It's the lighter side of the Mosaic family, made to celebrate the mix of hops and people that build the Community, and brewed year-round by Community Beer in Dallas.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Mosaic Pale Ale

◎ Appearance

Golden amber hue with bright clarity punctuated by suspended particles from the unfiltered character. A modest white head forms quickly and recedes steadily, leaving delicate lacing along the glass. Fine carbonation creates a steady stream of bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—layered beneath earthy pine resin. Subtle tropical undertones of stone fruit emerge as the beer warms. A clean, crisp malt base supports without dominating, allowing the hop blend to breathe.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy citrus and a peppery hop bitterness that builds through the mid-palate without aggression. The two-row malt foundation provides smooth, light sweetness that balances the 35 IBUs. The finish is dry and crisp, with lingering citrus and pine notes tapering cleanly.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
