Dragoon IPA from Tucson, Arizona, is an uncompromising West Coast IPA that stays true to the tradition. At 7.3% ABV with assertive bitterness, this pale ale is known for its balanced hop character. The brew combines North American and British malts with generous amounts of Northwest hop varieties including Summit, Columbus, Magnum and Zythos. In the glass, a deep gold hue reveals an aroma of citrus, dank herbs and herbal notes.

The taste opens bright and lemony with solid malt undertones, followed by a piney punch midway through. Stone fruit and subtle tropical notes round out the profile. This is a full-bodied, intense IPA with a dry, resinous finish—not for cautious drinkers, but a worthy expression of West Coast IPA tradition.
