Hops: Citra & Galaxy
Tasting Notes:
You’re gonna need a bigger fridge! We put together an A team of Simcoe, Citra and Galaxy with our super fruity house yeast strain to make a classic New England IPA – just a hint of bitterness, and a balance of sharper citrus fruits to ensure the tropical aroma and flavours remain balanced.
Export Stout
Style: Export Stout
ABV: 7.7%
Tasting Notes:
Soft like velvet and far too easy to drink. Eleven malts were used and lashings of molasses to boot! Caramel flavours range from sweet shop to burnt sugar. Roasted impact hits in waves with coffee grounds and cocoa upfront and that unmistakable roasted barley oomph we crave through the middle.

All the Citra hops brought to the fore in one of our best-loved DIPAs. Our house yeast, soft water and English malt blend elevate the hops to completely satisfying levels of saturation. Aromas of mango, citrus fruit and melon mingle with a slight sherbet vanilla character. Full and dense yet light and quaffable.

Juicy berries, luscious stone fruit and citrusy pine needles. Picture a sweaty 1970s squash club changing room. That’s Mosaic in a nutshell… 'Maybe One More PSI?’ is a single hop Vermont-style showcase of the US hop. If you don’t like Mosaic hops, then you won’t like this beer.
