Pellet Hops, BSG, Mosaic

Occasionally we may need to substitute to YCH nitrogen purged hops.
8oz may be repacked from 1lbs bags.

Tropically pungent and in demand for IPAs, saisons, and more.

Breeding/Development: USA. Known as HBC 369 until its release in 2012, Mosaic® is a variety from the Hop Breeding Company, LLC. It is a daughter of Simcoe and a Nugget-derived male.

Brewing Application: Mosaic® is often compared to Citra, with which it shares a respectable alpha content but a highly-desired oil profile that makes it most commonly used for flavour and aroma. Its exotic, fruit-laden bouquet lends itself well to American-style IPAs, saisons, wheats, and Brettanomyces-fermented beers.

Sensory: Complex and pronounced. Strong impressions of citrus oil, balsam pine, blueberry, peach and tropical fruit (especially mango, but also shades of lime and mandarin orange).

Botanical Classification:
Family: Cannabaceae
