Maris Otter Mosaic SMaSH

[rhys333]

Well I didn't get around to brewing my MO Mosaic SMaSH yet, but I did just bottle a MO Mosaic pale and its something else. Them hops have a tropical fruit stank on em. Complex and a bit cat pissy too, but good good. Glad I have a pound of these suckers.

I brewed an all Mosaic/Maris Otter SMaSH 1 month ago with S-04 and I must say that it is very very much on the side of tropical fruit.

This hops is so intriguing and complex when you smell it that I needed to know what it tasted in a SMaSH.

Mango and papaya are 75% of the flavor in my beer. A little bubble gum and anana?? but not that many. So many other tropical fruit can be tasted.

I really don't get the blueberry taste at all (like many).

I hopped that the flavor was more Citrus than that but the tropical fruity side is overwhelming everything. This is a tropical fruit party on steroid.

I think this is a good hops to get mixed with Simcoe/Citra/Galaxy for IPA, IIPA, NEIPA.

Overall it is a pretty good beer and this hops will always be in my IPA at flameout forever I think

7gal boil @ 90 min
0.75oz @ FWH
3oz @ flame out
3oz @ chilled to 170F - 20 min whirlpool
4.5oz @ Dry hop

FG 1.010
ABV 6,1%

Cheers

How would you describe the perceived bittering level with that hopping schedule? Just curious what the 170F did in terms of IBUs.

I think I'd like to do a Vienna Mosaic SMaSH.

I think it's tasting for like 30-35 IBUs. It's very smooth and not bitter at all. You don't really get the bitterness and that's what I wanted.

Here's picture of the final product.
Kegged December 4.

I did something similar, named it "Yer M.O.M." It turned out FANTASTIC. One important difference: instead of a dry hop I went with a hop tea. One ounce of pellets steeped in a liter of water in my French Press, 160 degrees for 30 minutes. After that, I pressed the hops down just like I was making coffee and dumped it right in the bottling bucket. It'll be in a keg the next time I brew it, but I'll still do the same thing.

SO good. I highly recommend it.
