Dave's BrewFarm Mosaic Single Hop Lager, 6.4% ABV.
Hazy, amber/golden appearance; smallish, white, lace-leaving head of foam.
Aroma: complex and multi-faceted, can't quite put my finger on it. Fruity esters, mild bitterness, slight sweetness. Overall, it's not a hop I've "figured out" yet, but it's pleasing, to be sure.
Taste: Malt comes to the forefront in this one, caramel-y, copper-y, and tasty as heck. Mosaic hops stay off to the side, maintaining balance, keeping it nice and even, not stepping into the spotlight. Pressed into naming names, I'd call this an amber lager. It's smooth, and consumable, all the way. Drinks down easy-peasy.
What's the skinny? "Pils, Cara Red, and Caramel 20 malts, and hopped with three additions of Mosaic hops. Fermented with lager yeast."
