Sensory Description:

The Mosaic Sour pours a hazy golden hue capped with a lively white head, radiating aromas of pineapple, passionfruit, and grapefruit zest from its generous Mosaic dry-hop. On the palate, bursts of tropical fruit and citrus meet a tangy, refreshing sourness that keeps the experience bright and electric. Subtle hop bitterness underlines the tartness, while a clean, dry finish leaves the mouth watering for another sip. The result is a perfectly deceptive balance, juicy like a tropical IPA, yet crisply sour and endlessly refreshing.
