COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Fruity, hoppy ale, and not so much pale in the glass as blushing or bronze. Unlike the traditional ale, the Dragon's Back is light carbonated and so it is also very drinkable for not the real ale-fans. Dragon's Back-India ale is sold exclusively to all Delaney's Irish Pubs in Hong Kong. The newest idea is to bring it completely uncarbonated on the market to fit the taste of the real hardcore ale fans. Even with it's heavy mouth-feeling, the alcohol content is only a little bit higher than usual, about 5.2% Vol.

shrubber85 (5064) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - JUL 25, 2010
Bottle (labelled Dragon’s Back IPA - so either this is mis-labelled or an alias because it’s definitely not an IPA). Light chocolate malt and grass hops aroma. Dark brown color with moderate head. Lightly sweet toffee malt and mildly bitter hops flavor. Light but pretty tasty - very nice for an Asian beer.
