COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An amber gemstone with a Dragonfly trapped inside is a highly prized and extremely valuable possession. We want you to feel the same way about this amber ale.
Crafted using a blend of six malts and lots of American ‘C’ hops it is deep amber in colour with a floral/citrus hop aroma upfront. The initial flavour hit is resinous, citrus and pine followed by a rich biscuit and caramel maltiness and finishing with a lingering bitterness.
Dragonfly tastes great on its own or with lightly spiced pasta dishes, pizza or strong cheddars. Serve at 4C to emphasise the hops or at 12C for a fuller bodied, fuller flavoured experience. No additives, no adjuncts; just four top quality, natural ingredients: malt, hops, yeast and water.
Specifications: Malts: Maris Otter, Crystal, Vienna, Biscuit, Melanoidin, Flaked Barley
Hops: Magnum, Cascade, Columbus, Chinook

Flaska @ Royal Mile Whiskies, Edinburgh. Bärnstensfärgad med vitt kolsyrigt skum. Dofter av kåda, grape och karamell. Humlen regerar ordentligt i smaken - det är beska för hela slanten. Något tunn kropp. Oljig munkänsla. Inte dum på det stora hela.

Cask at 9a. Amber with small white head. Fruity grapefruit aroma, also some dirty dishwater, something vegetal. Similar taste, some nice fruitiness with a stale vegetal flavour, biscuit and caramel. Warm and dry. Not great

Cask. A very nice Amber - lots of citrus and pine hops that are well complemented with a solid toffee malt backbone. I think it would be better on keg.
