Has anyone tried Mosaic hops yet? I picked some up to go with my second attempt at 100% Brett beer.

I made an IPA with them and found them to be a lot like Simcoe...same dank and catty type of flavor and very aromatic...I mixed them with good ol cascade and centennial and it turned out great
with an all brett beer I would think about mixing them with fruitier hops to blend in with the tropical and fruit flavors coming from the brett
just my .02

Mosaic is a very very very American hop. Take Simcoe and multiply by five. Some will love it. I hate it. Smells and tastes like a litterbox.
