A sensory enveloping experience at the intersection of creative beer paired with creative music, the energy of this union inspired Flaming Lips front man Wayne Coyne to use ingredients from the beer - dragon fruit and yumberries - as characters in two original songs, The Story of Yum Yum and Dragon and Pouring Beer in Your Ear … making this the first beer with its own theme song!
With dragon fruit and yumberry as the main elements, Wayne transformed them into storyful lyrics in the song like, “Yum Yum and Dragon went out for a drive, but Yum Yum doesn’t have any eyes….Yum Yum and Dragon, they’re happy they’re friends…”
The psychedelic influence of the label artwork, designed by Michael Hacker as part of Dogfish Head’s Off-Centered Art Series, was influenced by the legacy of the Flaming Lips and the culinary components in Dragons & YumYums shown through radiating lines, movement of fire, dancing lips, rainbows and bold pink colors.

Bottle. So I'm not sure what yumberries or dragonfruit are but the beer is tasty and smooth.

Bottle to glass....I proclaim to be one of the dogfish superfans, but this one has me scratching my head. It has a bit of a vegetative smell, on a deeeeeep sniff almost stink bug(probably the carrot). It doesn't taste bad though. Some watery pear mostly and the dragonfruit is faint on the finish. Eh...love the label though

Backlog. Clear amber pour. Tropical fruit aroma. Flavor is mildly bitter with lightly sweet malt. Tropical fruit and a little pine. Balanced and enjoyable though I was hoping for more...

Clear reddish-bronze color with a medium thick white head that dissipates gradually to an outer ring. Partial rings of lace. Fruity aroma with wheat and hop notes. Light to medium body with flavors of tropical fruit, mild hops and bready malt. The finish is fruity with a passionfruit aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Greg & Jane's Beer and Wine. Appearance is clear, reddish-copper with nice sparkle, finger width fizzy off-white head with pink tinge, poor retention and fair soapy lacing. Aroma is mix of sweet and tart passionfruit, hint of pear, musty laundry. Taste is sweet and tart fruit, bready backbone. Palate is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, gorgeous look and fruits deliver a mix of sweet and tart as you'd expect. Not terribly complex. Decent.

On tap a rosey slightly orange pour witha thin light pink head. Soft slightly tart fruit medley aroma and flavor. Clean bright finish. Trailer that is I suppose the carrots. Strange.
