Overtone Brewing Co

Dragons Awake is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that balances a funk-forward wild fermentation with an intense tropical and berry profile. The addition of Red Dragon Fruit provides delicate sensory cues of sweet kiwi and pear, while Tayberries contribute a sharp, sweet-tart berry layer. Mango pulp creates a notable textural weight and adds deep, exotic tropical notes. This Overtone Brewing Co. creation exhibits a complex interplay between lactic acidity and rich fruit sugars, resulting in a refreshing yet substantial sour ale where the earthiness of the funk complements the bright, multifaceted fruit additions.

Appearance. Striking deep pink to reddish-purple hue derived from Red Dragon Fruit and Tayberries. Opaque to heavily hazy due to the inclusion of mango pulp. Pours with a light pink, fine-beaded head that shows poor to moderate retention.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of ripe Mango and tart Tayberries. A distinct wild funkiness provides earthy and light leathery notes, which blend with the Red Dragon Fruit’s subtle pear and kiwi scents. A clean lactic sourness underpins the tropical fruit bouquet.

Taste. Initial sharp tartness gives way to succulent Mango and sweet Tayberry flavors. The Red Dragon Fruit offers a mild, melon-like sweetness in the mid-palate. Fermentation character is moderately funky and acidic, balancing the perceived sweetness of the fruit adjuncts. The finish is clean and lingering with a tropical aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body, exhibiting a creamy thickness and pulpiness from the mango. Moderate carbonation provides a refreshing prickle that cuts through the fruit density. Alcohol warmth is negligible; no significant astringency.
