American Ale
This was the first beer in our single hop pale series. Our single hop pale series focuses on new hop varieties and show casing them in a American strong pale ale. The result of our experimental series accentuates and showcases the individual character of each hop. Mosaic is a new hop out of Washington’s Yakima Valley and is the first daughter of Simcoe. 2012 was the first harvest that Mosaic was commercially available.
This strong pale ale is bright golden with an amber hue. Pungent aromas of mango and citrus. Hops fill the mouth with lemon, pine, and a hint of blueberry. Finishes assertive, but soft.
Mexican Food: Chile verde, mole Oaxaqueno, and al pastor tacos. Sweet and sour flavors found in Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. Firm, buttery white fish such as halibut and black cod, as well as shellfish like dungeness crab and lobster. Fruity flavors play off of the hop characteristics very well: spiced pear chutney, blueberry cobbler, and mild mango salsas.
