I got a kit from Brooklyn Brew Shop and gave it a shot on my own. These beers, as well as the young legends that follow, prompted me to make my own batch of single-hop Mosaic IPA. It is a single malt, single hop beer that really brings the flavor spectrum of the Mosaic hops right up to the front. It was a flavor that carried its own tone through the AlaMosaic IPA from Alamo Beer company.Īnother great beer to profile Mosaic hops is (512) Brewing company’s SMaSH Mosaic. It often tastes like blueberry to me and it gives the bitterness its own bite back to create a smooth drinking beer. One flavor that always sticks out to me when I drink a beer made with Mosaic hops is the berry. With a flavor profile consisting of tropical fruit, citrus, pine, earthy, floral, mango, and berry, it is easy to see how this hop can serve a dual-purpose role in brewing. With its high alpha-acid content (11.5-13.5%), which may have come from its Simcoe parentage, this hop variant is great for bittering as well as for adding a unique aromatic presence. This hop was bred with Simcoe and nugget-derived hops to create a bitter, fruity, and fantastic dual-purpose hop.
Mosaic hops were developed by the United States’ own Hop Breeding Co. From craft brewers to homebrewers, this is why people are going crazy for Mosaic hops. As one of the youngest hop strains on the market, Mosaic hops have made a huge impact on the brewing industry.
