A striking, black insect with yellow rings around the abdomen and bright green eyes. The female has a very long ovipositor, which makes it the UK’s longest dragonfly. It can be found along flowing watercourses over much of Britain, though scarce in lowland areas where it is usually found in heathland.
This is a Golden Ale which celebrates the beauty of this fantastic creature’s golden rings. The hoppy fresh (green) nose and taste symbolises the startling eyes of this insect. This beer is best sampled on a lazy summer’s day when the dragonflies are active and you can watch the rings from this golden ale accumulating in your ever emptying glass!
