Unmistakable Mosaic hops hit the nose first, herbal with hints of chive. Citra hops provide a full punch of fruit as the glass warms. On the tongue, citrus peel bitterness is pithy and dry, backed by a solid level of pine and dank herbs. Traces of caramel and honey prevent things from getting totally unbalanced, but ultimately a spicy, earthy hop note grabs hold and remains through the finish. Pretty tasty IPA.
