I'm thinking along those lines, magnum for bittering, then all the mosaic in late/ dry.
Thought about a small addition of biscuit malt to give a bit of body

ye should be good. the last one i made was all mosaic. it was good too but this one is nicer id say.

I just did a low abv pale with amber malt (170g in 23l) and crystal 150 (250g), bittered with challenger and flavoured with mosaic (only 40g iirc). ABV was 4% and IBU was 28. It's only just finished carbonating but I don't think it's balanced that well - either the amber malt or the mosaic needs to go I think. Either that or it's too young and the hop flavour will blend in better over the next few weeks.

I tried a smash once and thought the grain bill was too boring so I've always included more than just pale malt. However I'm trying to create an easy going house pale recipe and I do like the fruity, low abv pales that lots of breweries are coming out with now. Next beer I do will be either a more boring hop schedule or a more boring grain bill.

Just brewed a low abv version of Adnams Mosaic, well a cross between that and Ghost Ship, the Mosaic uses some lager malt and light Cara, a real Summer quaffer.

3.734 kg Maris Otter (Crisp) (7.9 EBC) 74.7 %
0.690 kg Amber (Crisp) (50.0 EBC) 13.8 %
0.330 kg Wheat, Torrified (3.3 EBC) 6.6 %
0.246 kg Crystal Rye Malt (120.0 EBC)


12.00 g Columbus/Tomahawk/Zeus (CTZ) [18.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 5 18.2 IBUs
0.50 tsp Protafloc (Boil 10.0 mins) Water Agent 6 -
20.00 g Mosaic (HBC 369) [12.25 %] - Boil 5.0 min

75.00 g Mosaic (HBC 369) [12.25 %] - Dry Hop 3.0 Days

I nearly always go for a high AA hop in the boil, helps head retention and lacing and doesn't waste expensive aroma hops. However, I would probably have a 15 or 20 minute addition of Mosaic to improve hop flavour. Adjust to hit your target abv as this came out low as part of an experiment. I would use a highly attenuative yeast too. Mosaic is such a heady hop it needs a decent malt bill otherwise it is hop and little else, this fits the bill, pardon the pun.

well I discovered I'd got no biscuit left! so reduced base malt and added cara and wheat

Recently done a BrewUK Mosaic pale , and found it good. Our kid ,who is an absolute bloody pedant , and likes-wot-he likes and has it in for hoppy pales, was impressed. Will do a similar thing for me next ,but upping the grav a bit ,as this one was purposely kept low for sessionable-ness ,and mebbez put some biscuit in there to a: give a bit of body and colour, and b: 'cos I have some left over. Just had 3/4 of a pint of it just now on an empty gut ,and can feel it would not be wise to jump in the car and go out to lunch . Best drunk reasonably fresh , once it's conditioned , as I've noticed some hop aroma has , if you'll pardon the pun , hopped it . You could check their website for the package contents and work from that. I will , it flat-out worked , but I used a Wyeast smackpack American some-variety-or-other yeast , and the ferment went mental at 68f.
