Mountains Walking Brewery Cloud Curtain - Mosaic
This Hazy Double IPA showcases an intense hop profile driven by a massive addition of Mosaic hops, delivering punchy notes of ripe stone fruit, vibrant citrus, and a resinous pine backbone. The grist, featuring a significant 50% addition of Montana-grown oats from Gallatin Valley Malt and a touch of wheat over a Pilsner malt base, creates a velvety, "Oat Whip" texture that cushions the 8.5% ABV. While classified as a Double IPA, this expression prioritizes hop saturation and a lush, creamy mouthfeel over aggressive bitterness, resulting in a saturated, fruit-forward experience that highlights the multifaceted, berry-and-tropical nature of its single-hop focus.
Appearance. Straw to light gold (5 SRM); thick, mousse-like white head with excellent retention and heavy lacing; opaque with a significant, uniform haze.
Aroma. High to very high intensity; pungent Mosaic hop character featuring peach, mango, and tangerine alongside a subtle, clean forest pine; background malt is low and grainy-sweet like fresh dough; fermentation is clean with very light tropical esters.
Taste. Initial impression of intense tropical fruit and citrus oil; malt flavor is soft, bready, and cereal-like from the high oat content; Mosaic hop flavors dominate the mid-palate with blueberry and resinous notes; bitterness is moderate and smooth rather than harsh; finish is medium-dry and soft with a lingering fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a remarkably creamy, velvety texture; moderate carbonation; smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth; very low astringency despite the heavy hopping rate.
