A golden beer bursting with grapefruit, lemon, apple and rose characters. Our Brewing Director John Bryan has been visiting the Slovenian hop fields regularly for more than 10 years now and is really excited about the varieties that Slovenian growers are producing. Dragon is one of the best of this new wave of Slovenian hops and our single hop cask aged beer displays its qualities to full effect.

12th April 2019, cask half-pint, hand-pulled in the Three Fishes, Shrewsbury. Pale golden body, white head. Citrus lead in both the aroma and semi-sour/tart bitter taste. Not my thing, but scored objectively.

Gravicask at 23rd St Albans Beer & Cider Festival. Close-to-clear golden body. Bubbly ring to the rim of the surface. Dotted spots on the glass. Inviting smell of citrus, mid-sweet. Mixed taste profile of citrus, oily hops and biscuit. Rounded bitter fruity end. Just alright.. (Shared with Finn, 27.09.2018).

Clearish, deeper golden colored, small white soapy head. Aroma is of some pale malt, bit biscuit, some medium- citrus and fruity apple hops. Taste is medium to light sweet pale malt and bit biscuit, hops are rather underwhelming, some fruity and citrus notes, bit apple, medium- bitterness, dry finish. Medium to light bodied, soft to flat carbonation, bit watery. Homebrew variant with Dragon was a similar let down. It smells nice in pellets but... (cask, CBC Islington, London)
