Sensory Description

'Lizard King' pours a mostly clear bright yellow color, topped with a one and a half inch foamy head and substantial lacing. The aroma is a delightful blend of lemon, orange, pine, and light wheat, with grassy and somewhat dank undertones. On the palate, it offers flavors of lemon, pine, light orange, malt, and a hint of lime. The taste is grassy and slightly dank, with a smooth, semi-dry finish. The light to medium body and high carbonation make it both crisp and smooth, while the very slightly hazy golden color and lasting white head add to its visual appeal. The aroma and flavor are balanced with crackery malt, grapefruit, and a touch of pine, culminating in a dry finish with lingering citrus zest and pine resin, and mild bitterness.
