As crisp and clean as its packaging, the flavor of this particular brew is quite different from the tried and true, allowing people to enjoy something different without being too experimental. A Pale Mosaic Beer begins with a German Pale Ale base along with Vienna malts that is then mixed with Oregon grown hops. This is followed by dry-hopping with the hop variety known as Mosaic, hence its name.
