Well you’ll never guess what? I got offered an 8-pack at Christmas! Looks like my beer holidays are not over 
.
Do tell, please.
Notes of brown bread and toffee. A good and true to style Bock.
Only one IPA in cans at Monkish yesterday, so I bought it. Without even checking the hop bill, I bet this is Galaxy-dominant. I can taste it clearly. Galaxy is far from my favorite hop. But this is still good.
Interesting. Pretty sure I can taste mosaic (which I love), but I’ve never heard of someone make a similar comment about hops, not that I’ve spent any amount of time in beer forums.
NB: RIP Pizza Port’s Olley Pop, a mosaic pale ale that left when the brewer did, apparently. Not sure why he was able to take what I assume would have been IP, but alas.
I’m with ya on loving Mosaic, and – like you – it’s often pretty obvious to me. Many of my favorite IPAs are Mosaic-heavy, and it’s one of the few hops I feel works well standing alone.
I would suspect that the new brewer at Pizza Port didn’t want to make the beer, or had a new beer queued up to replace it. I would very much doubt that someone would take their brewing sheets with them when they left. There are dozens, probably hundreds of little nuances in how beer (particularly hoppy beers) are brewed, and the new brewer could just do thing differently. It could be that the new brewer just does things a bit differently, and wanted to change the line-up.
