Mosaic Promise

Tap to rate

Mosaic Promise is built on two defining ingredients, Mosaic hops and malt from the Scottish barley variety Golden Promise, and is released seasonally from February to August. At 5.5 percent it pours clean and golden. Intense pineapple and citrus lead the aroma, while the malt adds a rounded, lightly bready depth underneath. The body is light, the bitterness mild, and the finish clean.

◎ Appearance

Pours a clean, bright golden hue with excellent clarity. A white head forms with moderate density and builds good lacing as the glass empties. Fine carbonation sustains throughout, lending a crisp visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

Intense pineapple and citrus notes dominate the nose, delivering a vibrant tropical character. Beneath this fruit-forward top note sits a rounded, lightly bready malt foundation that anchors the profile without overwhelming. A subtle herbal whisper from the Mosaic hop variety rounds out the aromatic bouquet.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and fruit-driven, with pineapple and citrus flavors carrying smoothly across the palate. The Golden Promise malt contributes a gentle, grainy sweetness and soft breadiness that prevents harshness. Bitterness remains mild and integrated, finishing with a dry, refreshing quality rather than a lingering bite.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
