Mosaic Session

Tap to rate

Papaya, blueberry and mango lead this 6% hoppy pale ale, which packs the hop-forward tropical character of the Mosaic family into a lighter, more sessionable build. It's approachable and easy-drinking, made for any occasion, and part of the year-round lineup at Community Beer in Dallas, a brewery that grows all its own yeast in house.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and sessionable, with fruity hop flavors blooming across the mid-palate—blueberry and orange notes interplay with the underlying pale malz base. Bitterness builds gradually to a moderate 65 IBU, present but balanced, avoiding any harsh bite. The finish maintains refreshing dryness without astringency.

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.
