The Lizard King isn't one to sit out an epic battle! Lizard King Mosaic Hopped Pale Ale is a Pipeworks classic. This beer is crisp, easy, and full of vibrant berry, pomegranate, pineapple, and woodsy aromas. The goal when brewing this beer was to create a beer that's chill enough to be a go-to but still something worth the crown - enter: The Lizard King!

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Whole Foods, Lynnfield. Appearance is hazy pale yellow-orange with intermittent sparkle, 2-finger width off-white fluffy head with fair retention and trace sudsy lacing at the top of the glass. Aroma is grapefruit and pine with milder citrus and herb, dank bitter. Taste elements are less identifiable than in the aroma. They just seem to come all at once as a big mix of fruitiness-bitterness-somewhat-herbal. Some late citrus and grapefruit but the dominant flavor is almost a soapy-potpourri vague sweetness but unidentifiable. Palate is medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, average carbonation with slight zing to the tongue, mild alcohol warmth, and finish is more citrus, herb and grapefruit. Overall, comes into its own more as it warms but the flavors seem to compete more than complement/play off each other as in the aroma.

Really nice stuff. Aromas have fresh hops standing out front and rounded out with pale malt and wet grain. Flavors are like nose, balance between Bitter Sweet and dry, with good body in excellent finish. Crushable.

IPA glass draft at the Yard House in Lombard, Illinois. The pour is a hazy yellow, with a small but well formed white head. The aroma is tropical citrus fruit, dank, herbal yeast and cracker malt. The taste is really fresh mango, pineapple and citrus fruit. The cracker malt provides a solid backbone to the hop. Herbal yeast and mineral carry the clean dry finish. The palate is medium bodied, unfiltered mouthfeel and the clean dry finish. Really tasty.

Canned 2.8.2018. A light yellow beer, strong bubbling, a head is big and blond. Aroma has freshness, grapefruit, mango, sweeter papaiya, hint of waffles. Taste has grapefruit, mango, some pineapple and pine, enough of bitterness that's at least medium level. Medium bodied, high carbonation. Pure and fresh flavours of fruits. Great beer.
