Mosaic Hop Pellets
boomchugalug.com
Mosaic Hops are known as a “super hop” for good reason: they're packed with a medley of blueberry, tropical fruit, citrus, and pine. Mosaic hops are complex, expressive, and incredibly versatile. It’s a favorite for modern IPA and Pale Ale recipes, offering bold aroma in both solo and blended hop schedules.
Named for its ability to produce a “mosaic” of aromas, this hop shines in late additions and dry hopping, delivering layered intensity and excellent oil retention. If you want to add extra wow factor to your IPAs, try pairing Mosaic with Citra, Simcoe, or Amarillo.
Expect notes of blueberry, mango, tangerine, papaya, and a touch of herbal pine, perfect for creative hop expressions in juicy IPAs and beyond.
