Lost in Mosaic

Tap to rate

The brewery calls this its new world IPA, brewed at 5% with Mosaic and Citra hops. Pineapple and citrus aromas lead on to flavours of orange and melon, followed by a fresh, zesty finish. The hop pairing adds a suggestion of mango and berry behind the fruit already named, over a pale malt base. On cask the beer has taken a medal in the pale ale class of the Scottish independent brewers' competition.

◐ Taste

The palate develops flavors of orange and melon that build from the initial sip, creating a fruit-driven center. The 60 IBUs provide moderate bitterness that frames rather than overwhelms the hop character, while the low 5% ABV keeps the beer light and drinkable without sacrificing complexity.

◑ Finish

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.
