Mosaic Pale Ale

This beer is a nod to one of my favorite new beers, Two Brothers Sidekick Extra Pale Ale.  I am pretty certain the hops in that beer are Mosaic and the new experimental hop #483 from the Yakima Valley hop breeding program.  However, since I can't get my hands on the experimental hop, all Mosaic hops will have to suffice.  I brewed this batch in tandem with the all Centennial pale ale.

3 lbs Muntons Extra Light DME
