 Mosaic Single Hop IPA: 
For our first experiment with the newly-formed LAB (Lafayette Area Brewers) Homebrew Club, we are focusing on brewing a bunch of single-hop IPAs to help develop our sensory analysis around hops and hop aroma/flavor. For my IPA, Ive decided to use the new-ish Mosaic Hop. It's a daughter of Simcoe and Nugget and promises Simcoe's piney goodness mixed with the citrus and tropical fruit typical of Northwest hops. It should be a good experiment!!
