From the first whiff, the Chosen Vehicle Mosaic from Wise Man Brewing arrests your senses with an unwavering assertiveness. Crafted with a vision and an artful blend of ingredients, the Mosaic introduces itself as a force to be reckoned with. Let’s take a deeper dive into this delicious concoction.
The Aroma
Right off the bat, I was intrigued. The aroma score of 12 is not an overexaggeration. The beer gives off bright tropical fruit and grass notes that immediately transports you to a tropical paradise. Mighty impressed, I also detected a hint of stone fruit and citrus. This unique fusion of aromas sets the tone and preps your palate for what’s to come.
What our panel thought
The earthy grapefruit-lime nose reminded me of a dense forest after a light drizzle. This was perfectly balanced by a touch of straw-like malt, providing a good base for the aroma. As you allow the beer to breathe, the earthy bitterness, strawberry-rhubarb, and light diesel notes harmonize effortlessly with the inherent malt sweetness. The hop flavor leaves a pleasant stickiness in your nasal senses, which I found quite appealing.
The Flavor
As expected after such an enticing aroma, the flavor does not disappoint either, scoring a well-deserved 19. First, I had to appreciate the excellent body and mouthfeel that the Mosaic has been endowed with. The same earthy bitterness from the aroma transfers beautifully onto your palate and leaves a lasting impression.
What our editors thought
Our editors too could not help but laud the Mosaic. Their analysis reflects a successful blend of funky tropical guava and passion fruit with a hint of pineapple/piña colada. This pegs the beer quite high in terms of experience and quality. The sip is lead by a smart tropical bitterness and solid carbonic bite that quickly resolves itself into a blended symphony of tropical, bitter, sweet, and funky. Truly a melody in your mouth!
Conclusion
As it warms, the Chosen Vehicle Mosaic gets danker, making it a perfect choice for slow sips on a relaxing evening. This is not a beer you chug down to quench your thirst, but rather, it’s one you savor, experiencing every nuance of its finely crafted blend. For these reasons, it is no surprise that Wise Man Brewing’s Chosen Vehicle Mosaic scores an impressive 93 out of 100. Try it for yourself, and you might find it dovetailing into your list of favorites.
