Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Community Beer Company Mosaic
IPA.
From the Community Beer Company website: “This is not
your average IPA. From the incredible nose, to the amazing finish, this
IPA is one that both session drinkers and beer nerds alike will love.
We’re full on board the hopwagon with this big
American-style IPA. However, it is not designed to blow your head off
with overpowering hop bitterness. Instead, Mosaic IPA is an extremely
well-balanced brew that showcases its unique hop aroma and flavor.
This beer gets its name from a new hop variety named
“Mosaic,” which is predominantly where the immense, raw hop aroma and flavor is
derived. Mosaic IPA has a noticeable malt backbone to help soften the
high level of hop bitterness and flavor, while keeping the body fairly light.
The word "Mosaic" is also representative of the
diverse range of individuals that make up our community. It's perfect in
every way!”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a golden honey color with a dense beige head leaving tons of lacing.
Aroma: Citrus and
tropical scents, honey and some caramel.
Taste: Citrus and
tropical hop flavors, honey, toasted bread and some caramel malt sweetness.
Overall: Crisp
and balanced, Community Beer Company Mosaic IPA is delicious. This 8.6% ABV offering is something I would
drink regularly if it was available in CA.
This one gets an A+++!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
