Simcoe Mosaic IPA Data and Results

 Notes:

Descriptors: orange, pine, dank, dark grape

Somewhat dank, dark grape aroma with a citrus piney bend. Great immediate smell out of the glass. Head retention is good, small tightly packed bubbles. Clear straw color. Beer cleared up nicely after it sat a bit in the keg. I get a lot of that amarillo orange citrus zest in the flavor (there’s no Amarillo in this). Curious what more Mosaic at flameout would have done. Light to medium body slightly silky. Easy bitterness that doesn’t linger. As it warms I get a little of the Simcoe piney thing, never sure how to describe Simcoe. Mosaic is a really complex hop, I get a lot of different aromas from it.
