Hops

Is there a close substitute for Mosaic hops? Hard to find and expensive

It's hard to find Mosaic in the US?

I don't think you can get a substitute. Mosaic is daughter of Simcoe, but they are different. Simcoe lacks the fruity/melony/oniony aroma and flavour of Mosaic. You could probably try a combination of hops, but it will come nowhere new to the real hop.

No substitute. If mosaic is too expensive look somewhere else, you can find it cheaper.

Will that Mosaic taste and smell like melon and blueberries or weed and sweaty armpits is the question.
