    Overall:

    For the first time in my five years living in the city, I saw a rat on my back patio today. This was no ordinary critter just trying to find a snack after a hard days work in the concrete jungle, this was a rat king – a veritable bad guy. Yuck.

    Its unfortunate I can’t get my mind clear enough to give this beer the indulgent write-up it deserves. So short and sweet (unlike that beefcake) it is: Dragonfly is a dizzyingly crushable beer for its ABV. New Trail continues to impress with their IPAs and their can art. My crummy phone picture doesn’t do the holographic justice.
