This DIPA has been brewed to celebrate the opening of the Brewhouse Project. A new taproom & coffeehouse on the outskirts of Arundel. During the many months of working on the site, we saw countless dragonflies dipping and diving and hence the name.

440ml can. Murky, orangey, golden colour with average, thick, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Tropical fruity and grassy, slightly piney, hoppy aroma, notes of mango, pineapple, papaya, some leafy aspects, a touch of peach. Taste is piney and juicy, tropical fruity hoppy, sweet-ish, oaty malty, slightly dry leafy-grassy-papery, notes of mango, peach, papaya, some pineapple, a touch of mandarine; lingering, minimally pungent, bitter hoppy finish on a slowly, out-fading, sweet-ish, fruity basis. Creamy to mushy texture, smooth and soft, minimally pungent palate, fine and soft carbonation. Compact and intensely fruity, almost syrupy - very nice.

Can from Left Field Beers. Cloudy dark orange pour with a white head. Nice nose of pineapple, mango, papaya, peach. Sweet fruit dominates the flavour. Fruit laden mouthfeel, acres of sweet fruit in the finish. Tasty.

Can from Indiebeer, Holloway. 8% version. Aroma had sweet stone fruit alongside tart citrus and pine. Hazy amber orange. Foamy white head. Medium-heavy bitter. Grows in intensity. But as it develops the underlying sweet jammy citrus and stone fruit become more assertive. Resinous core. Medium bodied. Creamy. Flat-average carbonation. Dry slightly astringent finish. Enjoyable.

330ml can. Sweet, sticky and caramely malty with some pine, grass, citrus and hints of tropical fruits. Quite sweet and a bit stuffy.

Can big thanks to my bro. It pours crazy cloudy milky golden - orange with a foamy white cap. The aroma is fresh, vibrant, juicy tropical fruits, mango, passion fruit, orange chewits, um bungo and papaya. The taste is dry, touch of bitterness, ripe tropical fruits, mango, papaya, orange creamsicle, um bungo, floury bread, a bit weedy, green, dank, nip of pine, citrus peel and lemongrass with a dry, fruity finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Surprisingly good nice mix of fruit and green character. For someone who is bit bored by the hazy NEIPA ipa style, I think this one stands out a bit. Nice work.
