Description

Naming

Mosaic’s complex flavor and aroma profile gave way to its name.

Origin Story

Mosaic (HBC 369) is the daughter of the Simcoe (YCH 14) and a Nugget-derived male that has linage including Tomahawk, Brewers Gold, Early Green, and an unknown variety. It was released to the public in 2012 by the Hop Breeding Company.

Characteristics

Mosaic is noted for its blueberry and tropical aromas, but is also known for citrus, grassy, pine, spice, tangerine, papaya, rose, earthy, floral (blossoms), and bubble gum descriptors.

Mosaic offers a unique and complex blend of floral, tropical, fruity, and earthy characteristics that translate favorably into many different styles of beer.

Citra, Simcoe, El Dorado, Amarillo, Galaxy and Azacca hops are commonly used alongside the Mosaic
