An aromatic West Coast Style IPA that exudes notes of resin, citrus, and other certain plants...ahem...Magic Dragon is our vehicle for Neo-Mexicanus hops. Packed with Neo-1, Multihead, Zappa, and Sabro, a few of these may give you couchlock! A few specialty malts round out the base malt giving it just enough character to stand on its own: chit malt for body and head retention, biscuit for toasty aromas, and crystal 60L for some hints of raisiny sweetness, this malt base is the perfect playground for these hops! Finished with a true West Coast yeast strain, this beer comes out hoppy, dank and delicious! Hail to the joint chiefs of staff with this brew! (Dave's not beer, man!)
