Castle Danger Brewery, Two Harbors, MN. 6.5% ABV.
Lightly hazed, bright golden coloring, impressive ivory head, looking good, leaving lace.
Gorgeous aromatics. Fruity, creamy, tropical notes with a citric twist. Pineapple, mango, grapefruit, lemon. Lovely.
In the mouth, it's nothing but yum. Smooth. Lightly bitter. Lean and clean. Long, hoppy finish. Just plain delicious. Bright, fresh and just about perfect. You can't go wrong with a Mosaic fresh hop ale. Indeed's was a knockout this year. Basically, Mosaic and Citra are the winning hops now. This is where the tongues are going.
Here's some words about it from their website:
Mosaic Fresh Hop IPA is brewed with fresh Mosaic hops, picked fresh off the vine and immediately shipped to the brewery and put into the beer. Hops grow in a way to protect the Lupulin glands, which produce the hop flavors we love. Hops are traditionally pelletized which lock in the majority of oils for long term storage but removes some of the delicate flavors they can offer. Fresh hopped beers are a way for brewers to use hops in their purest form. Enjoy this farm fresh beer in fall just weeks after the hop harvest.
