Pipeworks Lizard King versus The Cryo Pale Ale.
6 % ABV. Pipeworks Brewing, Chicago, IL.
Clear, bright golden hue, snow-white head.
In the nose: Slightly sweet and floral, soon swallowed up by citrus and pine.
In the mouth: Soft at first, slightly bitter, but smooth on out. Citrus and pine, with trickles of tropical, bits of berries. Medium-bodied and immensely drinkable. Clean, crisp, and delightful.
This pint will be done in no time. Wonderful hop flavors at play on the palate. Bitterness lingers ever slightly. I'm enjoying this one. Just delicious. Yum, as I've said before, a dum dum.
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.
