Because of its fruitiness, Mosaic plays well with other fruity or citrusy hops.Ĭitra seems to be a favorite partner right now, and it is similar enough that Mosaic hops have garnered a “Citra on steroids” description. It could also be used in the aroma and flavor department backed by a clean bittering hop like Magnum or Galena. A fact that becomes obvious when you see the amount of single-hopped IPAs being churned out with this variety. Mosaic hops cover all three corners of hop usage pretty well. Like I said, it’s a complicated hop variety and lives up to its name well. It may be most noted for its “blueberry” or “berry medley” aromas, but other descriptors used include mango, stone fruit, rosy or floral, bubblegum, tropical, citrus, grassy, pine, earthy, herbal, spice.
