Dilophosaurus Banana English Strong

Dilophosaurus - Banana English Strong Limited Release What Is Dilophosaurus? Dilophosaurus is a Banana English Strong Ale brewed with real banana and zero sour character. A limited taproom release from Urban Artifact's Dino line, available exclusively through our online store while supplies last. 7.7% ABV. 12 oz cans. Available in 6-packs. What Does It Taste Like? This one leads with the beer. A clean, full-bodied English Strong Ale with the weight and warmth the style demands - malt-forward, composed, and built for the kind of drinking that doesn't rush. The banana is real, and it's there. But it arrives the way good fruit in a serious beer should: as aroma first, then a brightness in the finish that sneaks up clean and disappears without overstaying. If you were expecting Gadget, this isn't that. If you were expecting a banana candy beer, this isn't that either. It's a proper strong ale that happens to smell like the best banana you've ever had. What Makes It Different? Most fruit beers announce themselves immediately. Dilophosaurus takes its time. The English Strong Ale base is the point - structured, malt-driven, and substantial enough to carry the fruit without being defined by it. Real banana, handled with the same obsessive fruit standards Urban Artifact applies to every beer it makes, brought in as a supporting character rather than the headline act. The result is a beer for the drinker who thinks they know what a fruit beer is. They don't. Not yet. Who Is It For? The craft beer drinker who wants complexity without challenge. The English ale fan curious enough to follow the banana note without committing to a fruit beer. The person at the birthday party who ordered something unexpected and finished it before anyone else did. Dilophosaurus was brewed for Urban Artifact's 11th anniversary. It is not coming back. (It might come back. But don't count on it.) Limited Release This beer is available exclusively through the Urban Artifact online store. No retail. No distribution. When it's gone, it's gone. About the Dino Line Dilophosaurus is part of Urban Artifact's Dino line - a series of clean, non-sour fruit beers brewed with real ingredients and traditional yeast. Each release targets a distinct style, a distinct fruit, and a distinct drinker. The birthday releases push the line into territory the year-round beers don't go. More dinosaurs are coming. Most of them will be easier to find than this one. FAQ Is Dilophosaurus a sour beer? No. It's a clean English Strong Ale with zero sour character. The banana character comes entirely from real fruit, not fermentation byproducts. What's the ABV? 7.7%. Is it brewed with real banana? Yes. Real banana, not extract or flavoring. The fruit is present as aroma and a clean brightness in the finish rather than a dominant flavor. Why is it only available online? Dilophosaurus is a limited anniversary release. It was brewed in small quantity specifically for Urban Artifact's 11th birthday celebration. Online only, while supplies last. Will it come back? Unclear. The Dino line birthday releases exist to show what the line is capable of beyond the year-round beers. Whether Dilophosaurus returns depends on how fast you make it disappear.
