Mosaic IPA by Pirate Life

Ben Tash

The story of Mosaic is described perfectly by Pirate Life themselves and began before they ‘d even brewed their first beer. Read more here.

Debuting at their second birthday in March, this beer was previously only available on tap. Thankfully, it proved tremendously popular so it’s been granted a new lease of life and most importantly given the can treatment. I often worry when picking up an impressively designed can that the design is going to be better than the contents however, as is always the case with Pale Ales and IPA’s from pirate life, I needn’t have been concerned in the slightest. Aromas of candied fruit, berries and a light grassiness, waft up straight after pulling the tab. A triumphant showcase of mosaic hops balanced perfectly with the malt profile. Just the right amount of bitterness up front that gives way to fruitier sweetness. Even though it comes in a 500ml can, one is not enough!
