Cryo Mosaic Hopped Pale Ale
Brrrrr..... THE CRYO HAS STRUCK AGAIN! This cold-hearted foe is not only the enemy of the Unicorn, but also The Lizard King! The cool and collected Cryo and his army of cold-to-the-bone soliders have raised their icicle swords against the legendary Lizard King. Will the Lizard King win this battle or will he be iced out from a win?
We took our Lizard King recipe, but brewed this batch with Cryo Mosaic hops instead of Mosaic hops. Cryo hops are hops that have been cryogenically frozen immediately after harvest in a nitrogen-rich environment. This process preserves the hop oils and aromatics resulting in a pure and true-to-hop expression of the hop oils.
This beer takes on an incredible berry, melon aroma, with floral and rich earthy notes.

Can from Trader Joes, Chicago. Pours almost clear pale yellow with a small frothy off-white head, pineapple-grape aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter pineapple-orange peel taste with faint grape flavor, thin body, long finish. Very smooth and tasty.

Can from Harvest. Pours a clear straw gold with a full two fingers of white foam. Big and bold dank mosaic nose with blueberry and citrus pith and zest. More of the same on the palate with a nice crisp, clean and dry fruity hop character. Drying finish.

A slight hazy gold with a large white head. Aroma is fruity red berry hop. Flavor is more red berry with some orange peel and slight green onion. Pretty decent hoppy pale ale. Why can't this brewer put dates on their cans?
