A clear red ale of deep vermillion color wearing a top hat of determined foam, DAGDA is a special release in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. It has a boggy taste like some exotic swamp flower with a welcome measure of juicyfruit and perhaps a touch of peat. The effect is engaging if not quirky, but it is a true pleasure to drink. It’s also a bit difficult to categorize, though I’d welcome further opportunities to try.

I have no knowledge of the name’s reference, but I’m convinced it does NOT describe the tuning of a banjo.

Serving type: cask
