COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
I tweaked the recipe of Laughing Dragon, American amber ale, and as with McGillihop, I ordered 50 punds of fresh Chinook hops from Yakima, WA, For Hopping Dragon I retained 3 pounds of the Chinooks to dryhop the finished beer along with locally grown Cascades.

Tap at Livery. Reddish plum pour. White head. Big spruce and sugar. Some earth and grass. Hints of cinnamon. Slight bitter and dry finish. Nice mouthfeel.

Firkin (w/additional wet hopping): Amber with "soap bubble" sized head and minimal lace. The aroma is fresh hop vapours (grapefruit, grassy, herbal, peppery, clove and even a touch dank) along with caramel and biscuity malts and a earthy woody ester. The taste has moderate dry bitterness and light hop spice with some accompanying acidity to balance against the sweet malt. There is a slight metallic tone to the finish. The mouth feel is lively and crisp, very refreshing. A solid brew but methinks I prefer a (fresh) Laughing Dragon over this because the malt still is more forward.
