Been a while since a Hops School update. Mosaic Hops are some of the best hops out there right now and I have found to be super addition to some very tasty beers.
Mosaic Hops –
Usage: Bittering, flavor and aroma
Description: Mosaic is the first born child of Simcoe. Some have described it as Citra on steroids, but it’s much more than that. Rich in Mango, lemon, citrus, earthy pine, tropical fruit, herbal and stone fruit notes.
Mosaic combines a very complex hop aroma with fairly high alpha-acids and low cohumulone which makes it a perfect triple purpose hop (Bittering/Flavor/Aroma). This combination ultimately provides clean bitterness and aroma profiles that cannot be accomplished by other hops or blends, truly a one of a kind and yet another “wonder hop” from the great folks at the Hop Breeding Company.
Alpha Acid – 11.5 to 13.5%
Beers that use Mosaic –
Deschutes Brewing – Fresh Squeezed IPA
Crux Fermentation Project – Imperial Mosaic
Green Flash Brewing – Imperial Red Ry
Hair of the Dog – Blue Dot
Epic Brewing – Santa Cruz Brown
Oakshire Brewing – Whet Yer Whistle
