Description
Mosaic hop pellets 100 g – tropical and complex aroma hop from the USA
Mosaic is an American hop variety with a complex, fruity aroma reminiscent of blueberry, mango, citrus and tropical fruit. It works for both bittering and aroma additions and is often used in IPA, NEIPA and pale ale. Mosaic gives the beer a modern hop profile and pairs well with Citra, Simcoe and Amarillo.
Mosaic was developed by the Hop Breeding Company and released in 2012. It is a daughter of Simcoe and a Nugget-derived male.

How to use Mosaic
Mosaic has high alpha acids and can be used as a dual-purpose hop, but its strength lies in the aroma. It shines in late additions, in the whirlpool and in dry hopping. Suits IPA, NEIPA and pale ale.

Storage and quality
The hops are vacuum packed and stored in a freezer room at -18 °C, so the quality keeps for several years. We focus on offering hops from the last two harvests, but older hops can be just as good as long as they have been stored correctly. At home, keep the hops cold, dark and airtight, preferably in the freezer. Read more about shelf life and storage of hops in the article from Yakima Valley Hops (PDF).
