Mosaic IPA

Yukon Brewing
Tap to rate
🌍 Canada · IPA · One of 77 IPAs in hopIQ

A single-hop IPA built entirely on Mosaic. The nose leads with ripe blueberry and mango, with tangerine and a resinous pine note behind them. A light caramel malt base gives the fruit something to sit on without pushing back, and the bitterness is firm and clean rather than harsh. Medium-bodied, with the berry character holding through to a dry finish.

Aroma

The nose is dominated by ripe stone fruit—prominent blueberry and mango notes lead, followed by tangerine and a distinctly resinous pine character. The light caramel Malz base provides subtle sweetness in support, allowing the fruit and herbal notes to remain in the foreground without overwhelming the palate.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Mosaic IPA

Serve at 8–11°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

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.

About IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same fruity, resinous, berry character as Mosaic IPA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
