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.

Pinkish hues accent the standard amber color of this beer. Aroma isn’t too strong. Taste is complex, pineapple, passion fruit, citrus and herbs are apparent in this beer. Palate is similarly complex, many of the aforementioned tastes are difficult to detect on the back of the tongue. Good beer, definitely notable.

Bottle from a 6 pack. Poured a slight pinkish color with a small off-white head. Aroma was light berries, touch of sweetness, light passionfruit. Flavor was fruit, berries, not a lot of tartness - would be better if it was a littler more tart, but it's okay. Easy drinking.
