One of the latest "Wonder Hops" Mosaic was formerly known as HBC 369 and is a cross breed of Simcoe and Nugget. Mosaic is used mainly for aroma and flavor additions as it produces a complex array of tropical fruit, floral, and berry notes that are unique to this hop. Drinking a well done Mosaic IPA (Check out our Juice Box Rye IPA) can be akin to drinking a glass of juice.

Alpha Acidity: 24.1%

Styles Used: India Pale Ale, Pale Ale, Belgian Blonde, Imperial IPA, American Amber Ale

Developed by Yakima Chief – Hopunion, Cryo Hops represents the most innovative technology in hop processing. It uses a proprietary cryogenic separation process which preserves all components of each hop fraction, producing two simultaneous co-products, LupuLN2 and Debittered Leaf.

LupuLN2 is the concentrated lupulin of whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oils. It is designed to provide intense hop flavor and aroma, enabling brewers to dose large quantities of hops without introducing astringent flavors or vegetative cone material. During early R&D trials, brewers specifically cited ‘juicy’ and ‘resinous’ characteristics. LupuLN2 offers twice the resin content of traditional whole-leaf and hop pellet products, and should be dosed at approximately half the amount by weight.
