A limited taproom release from Urban Artifact's Dino line, available exclusively through our online store while supplies last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e7.7% ABV. 12 oz cans.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Makes It Different?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMost 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe result is a beer for the drinker who thinks they know what a fruit beer is.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDilophosaurus was brewed for Urban Artifact's 11th anniversary.
