Tasting Notes
On pouring, expect a hazy, golden-straw hue with a frothy off-white head that lingers.
Aroma bursts with ripe mango, freshly squeezed orange, passion-fruit and soft tropical haze. The Mosaic hops shine with both citrus zest and tropical punch.
On the palate you’ll find juicy flavor layers – sweet mango, tangerine, pineapple, maybe apricot – balanced by a mild piney resin and faint biscuity malt under-lay. The body is medium-light but full of juice; carbonation is moderate, making the beer slick and smooth. Finish is gently bitter, clean, and invites another sip.
Perfect for fans of hazy IPA, juicy hop-driven beers, and those seeking vibrant fruit-forward character in their craft brew.
