Dragon Wagon is a saturated Double IPA that bursts with tropical intensity. The inclusion of Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops creates a layered profile of zesty lime, grapefruit, and sweet melon. These hop qualities are amplified by the addition of passion fruit, orange, and guava, which imbue the beer with a vibrant, juice-like character. Despite its 10% ABV, the beer remains remarkably smooth, supported by a soft malt backbone and a refined bitterness. The sensory experience is defined by a dense, hazy presentation and a lingering, sun-drenched citrus finish that masks its formidable strength through a balanced, fruity complexity.
Appearance.SRM 6–9; deep gold to light orange; opaque and hazy; moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with dense lacing.
