Mosaic is an American dual-purpose hop from the Hop Breeding Company, released in 2012 and named for its complex mix of tropical, berry and citrus aromas. The 200g pack gives hazy and hop-forward brewers plenty for whirlpool and dry hop additions.
Hop profile
- Origin: USA; bred from Simcoe and a Nugget-derived male
- Alpha acid: around 10.5-14%
- Aroma: pineapple, mango, passion fruit and blueberry, with tangerine, pine and earthy notes
- Type: dual purpose, at its best for aroma
How to use it
It can bitter thanks to its alpha level, but most brewers save it for late additions, whirlpool and dry hopping. It pairs well with Citra and Simcoe in hazy and West Coast recipes. Alpha acid changes from crop to crop, so check the figure on your pack and scale your recipe with our Hops Alpha Adjustment calculator.
Who it's for
Anyone brewing hazy IPAs, NEIPAs, pale ales or fruited beers who wants plenty of fruit from a single variety. T90 pellets are the standard form for home brewing - consistent, easy to weigh and easy to store. Keep the opened pack sealed and cold; our hop storage guide explains how.
A 100g pack is also available: Mosaic (T90 Pellet).
