Blueberry & Tropical Complexity • Dank Resinous Depth • A Hop That Lives Up to Its NameMosaic is named for the remarkable mosaic of flavors it delivers — blueberry, mango, stone fruit, and a dank, resinous undercurrent all in a single hop. A daughter of Simcoe released in 2012, it quickly became one of the most popular aroma hops in craft brewing and a fixture in modern IPA hop bills.With alpha acids of 12%, Mosaic carries plenty of bittering strength, but like its famous peers it is at its best late in the process, where its layered fruit character can fully express itself.Flavor & Aroma Profile Distinctive ripe blueberry Mango and tropical fruit Juicy stone fruit notes Dank, resinous pine undertone Earthy complexity in the finish Light late additions lend an intriguing berry-tropical note to pale ales. Heavy whirlpool and dry hop usage produces the deep, multi-layered fruit-and-dank profile that single-hop Mosaic IPAs are known for.Brewing ApplicationsMosaic is a staple ingredient in many modern hop-forward styles, including: New England / Hazy IPA American IPA Pale Ale Double IPA Session IPA Hoppy Pilsner It also shines as a blending hop, adding berry depth to Citra-forward recipes and softening more aggressive resinous varieties.Usage RecommendationsFor a 5-gallon batch, add 1–2 oz in the whirlpool and 1–2 oz in the dry hop for full expression; a small 60-minute addition works fine when you want Mosaic to handle bittering too. Lower rates emphasize berry and stone fruit; higher rates bring the dank, resinous side forward.Pair Mosaic with Citra or Simcoe for a layered IPA, or showcase it solo — few hops are this complete on their own.Specifications Alpha Acid: 12% Flavor Notes: Blueberry, dank, tropical, stone fruit, mango Typical Use: Aroma / dual-purpose Common Additions: Whirlpool, dry hop Substitutes: Citra, Simcoe, Galaxy Beer Styles: Hazy IPAs, American IPAs, pale ales, double IPAs Whether you're crafting a single-hop showcase or layering a complex hazy hop bill, Mosaic delivers the blueberry-tropical depth no other hop can match.
