5 Lizard is a creamy and refreshing wheat beer with some spicy complexity and light touch of passion fruit for a delicious and slightly exotic flavor.

Pours a hazy, straw color with a modest cap of frothy, white suds. Aroma smells of coriander, passion fruit, and slightly skunky hops.

The taste follows the nose pretty well, with oodles of coriander accompanied by an appreciable dose of passion fruit, lemongrass, prickly pear, and floral, slightly earthy hops. Biscuity malt is mostly an afterthought amidst the spicy, hoppy foundation. Warming reveals aspects of wheat, grain husk, and orange peel. Medium-light body and high carbonation make for a crisp, lively mouthfeel and super-dry finish.

I've historically had positive experiences with 5 Rabbit, and this is no exception. It manages to deliver an original take on the witbier without compromising any of the hallmarks of the style. Truth be told, this is one of the tastier, more refreshing wits I've tried—and I've tried more than a few.

I really like the coriander with the citrus flavors. Refreshing, but a lot of flavors so I'm not sure you would want to drink more than one at a time.

Looks somewhat like a radler blended beer cocktail, little chalky - needless to say, the fruit dominates. Nose is reminiscent of a popsicle or candy. Lively carbonation lends the slight tart tinge a hand in coming to the fore, whilst there is an almost yoghurt drink follow through within the texture here. A little lighter than I might like overall but an interesting brew all round.

For warmer days, or as an accompaniment to a nice heat laden Mexican meal, this is a nicely put together change of pace type beer.

100% hazy pineapple color. 3 fingers of fluffy, soapy head.

Aromas of lime, agave, citrus, wheat, and coriander.

The flavor doesn't quite come through 100%. A lot of lime juice, some straw, funky tequila soaked citrus, hay, barnyard, and wheat. It's just...odd. It's not disgusting, but it's a face-twister.

Feel is on point, it's got a nice wit sharpness with a dry character hidden in there somewhere.

Overall, it's not something I'd revisit even if I had the opportunity.

Nice fruity tang to this beer. Would be great by the pool in the summer!
