Brew Info:

• Brewery: Pipeworks Brewing Company (Chicago, Illinois)
• Website: https://pdubs.net/
• Brew: Lizard King Mosaic Hopped Pale Ale
• Style: American Pale Ale (APA
• Serving: 16 ounce can
• ABV: 6.0%
• Pour: The Lizard King pours a hazy golden-yellow with a frothy and firm, bright white, 1-finger head with good retention and sudsy lacing.
• Nose: The nose is characterized by dank, herbal, fruity, citrusy, floral, and earthy aromas.  There are notes of melon, orange, grapefruit rind, hints of strawberry, lime, wet pine needles, wildflowers, and soft caramel.
• Taste: The taste follows the nose with lots of citrus, fruity, herbal, and flavors.  There are notes of cantaloupe melon, orange peel, orange juice, and orange pith along with tangerine, grapefruit, light lime, light pine resin, crackery biscuit, and black pepper in the finish.  
• Mouthfeel: Medium to full-bodied with moderate carbonation, the mouthfeel is very crisp, a bit sharp (almost metallic), and a bit bitter with a dry, peppery finish.

Overall pairing: The big, bold, yet crushable hop flavors and aromas of Pipeworks' Lizard King seem to have been specifically brewed for the powerful, punchy, and infernal heaviness that is the mighty Nunslaughter!  Those melon and citrus hop notes go great with the aggressive approach this band takes to metal!
