Bright

Tap to rate

Grapefruit, sweet berries and clementine, finishing on a gentle orange rind, follow an aroma that is a cornucopia of citrus and dank hops. Bright is a showcase for Mosaic, with a simple malt bill and clean American ale yeast so the fresh hops, not the yeast, set the flavor. Dry, soft and adequately bittered at 7.8% ABV, it is a Double IPA that is approachable and pungent.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bright

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a distinctly hazy, opaque character driven by suspended yeast and fine hop particles. The dense, creamy head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving crisp lacework on each sip. Bright carbonation lifts the turbidity, creating a dynamic, almost pillowy visual presence.

◌ Aroma

An immediate wave of fresh citrus—bright grapefruit, clementine zest, and sweet orange—mingles with herbaceous, dank hop character. Beneath the aromatic hop expression sits a clean, neutral malt base that refuses to compete, allowing the Mosaic varietal to dominate without yeast-derived esters clouding the profile. The nose remains crisp and inviting rather than heavy or murky.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and drinkable despite the 50 IBU backbone; sweet berry notes emerge early, supported by a gentle orange-rind bitterness that builds steadily across the mid-palate. The mouthfeel remains dry and supple without harshness, the malt providing just enough sweetness to balance the assertive hop bitterness. Mosaic's signature character—a blend of fruity and herbaceous elements—carries through to the very end without becoming astringent or fatiguing.

◑ Finish

The finish fades to a pleasant, lingering orange-rind dryness that persists without dominating. Aftertaste remains clean and hop-driven, with no rough edges or cloying sweetness.

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