Commercial Description:
Fruity, hoppy ale, and not so much pale in the glass as blushing or bronze. Unlike the traditional ale, the Dragon's Back is light carbonated and so it is also very drinkable for not the real ale-fans. Dragon's Back-India ale is sold exclusively to all Delaney's Irish Pubs in Hong Kong. The newest idea is to bring it completely uncarbonated on the market to fit the taste of the real hardcore ale fans. Even with it's heavy mouth-feeling, the alcohol content is only a little bit higher than usual, about 5.2% Vol.

33cl bottle. It poured a dark red-brown colour with a medium big creamy head that settled down slowly in the glass. The aroma is fruity and smells of spices and hops. The flavour tastes of fruits, yeast and a hint of malts. IIt has a short aftertaste.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown, yet visible and towards golden with an orange glare. Creamy and tan head. Mild citrus fruity and spiced aroma. Flavour is mild spiced and fruity with a smooth hops note. Medium bitterness working well with the slight toasted malt base. Light fruity finish. Nice one.

This caught me a bit by surprise as I was expecting a pale lager. Pours brown with a thin tan head. Smells of nuts, some fruit, hints of caramel, yeast. Tastes doughy with some fruity hints. Pretty decent.
