American Pale Ale 6 º 36 IBU

Pipeworks Brewing Company

Lizard King is a vibrant American Pale Ale that highlights the complex sensory profile of Mosaic hops. It opens with an expressive bouquet of tropical fruit, zesty citrus, and deep resinous pine. On the palate, the Mosaic variety continues to lead, offering layers of mango and grapefruit against a light, crackery malt backdrop. This beer is designed to be exceptionally crisp and refreshing, featuring a clean fermentation profile that allows the hops to shine without interference. A firm but approachable bitterness ensures a snappy, dry finish, making it a quintessential modern interpretation of the style that balances hop intensity with high drinkability.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale amber (6-8 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderately large, frothy white head that exhibits good retention and leaves delicate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderately high hop intensity featuring distinct Mosaic characteristics of mango, passionfruit, and tangerine, backed by a resinous pine note. A low, neutral grainy maltiness provides a clean foundation, while fermentation esters remain minimal and clean.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward, showcasing vibrant flavors of tropical stone fruit and citrus zest. A clean, supportive pale malt character offers hints of fresh bread. Bitterness is moderate but firm, balancing the subtle malt sweetness. The finish is crisp and dry with a lingering note of pine and citrus pith.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the refreshing, crisp quality. Smooth texture throughout with no detectable astringency and a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
