I am really, really going to try and not make silly video game references in this post although I must say I got a laugh out of the name of this ale. It has nothing to do with the game though, this brewery has been around since 1878 so no longer require the 'ironic funny brew names' that so many upstarts find necessary.
This is a good ale, although its a bit tame at 4.2% abv it has ample flavor to it. Taking the chance at sounding like a 'beer snob' I would like to remark on the amount of hops in this beer is obviously a good amount. There is just a slight malty flavor to Double Dragon that makes it less bitter than most ales, actually less bitter than most beer in general. Double Dragon is what I call a 'meal beer' as it goes well with most foods and doesn't have an overpowering taste of alcohol or strong aftertaste. This is not a beer I would buy by the case due to its price, but it is a good way to start the night. Recommended!
