Mosaic
Blueberry & Tropical Complexity • Dank Resinous Depth • A Hop That Lives Up to Its Name
Mosaic 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 Applications
Mosaic 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 Recommendations
For 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.
