Commercial Description:
A hophead’s dream beer. This Imperial India Pale Ale has an opening salvo of mango, peach and citrus hop aromas that sit atop a pronounced caramel malt backbone. Although Dreadnaught is a strong and intensely hoppy ale, its complex flavors is both smooth and memorable. 9.5% ABV, 100 IBUs.

Sample from bottle in April 2009. Golden amber with a small white head. Very fresh an inviting aroma with lot of tropical fruits, lemon, caramel. Flavor has the same ingredients. Very hoppy with a great balance. Full body.

courtesy of hopshunter. Pours golden, white head. Aroma and flavor, lots of hops, plenty of citrus and lemongrass. Some caramel malts come add a nice finish. Overall beer is more on the sweet caramel side than the hop bomb I was expecting. Still a great beer.

Bottle thanks to StFun. Clear golden orange, off white puffy foam. Light lacing. Aroma is a thick citrusy, resinous hop aroma, crystal malt, caramel. Taste is again nice and creamy feel, smooth caramel, oranges and grapefruit, line pine and resin.

Outstanding. Taste is chewy citrus hops, just enough caramel malt bachbone, and some alcohal presence to let you know this is an Imperial. Long bitter finish that deserves to be savored.

Bomber thanks to thelizard. Beautiful medium clear orange pour with very little white head. Sweet juicy hops with the abv lurking behind. This is seriously delicious, I’ve been waiting for months now to crack it and was so happy I did. Now I just want a couple of cases of it so I can have it for always.

Tasting at GABF. yellow orange with thin to no white head. Very hop heavy the aroma is citrus, sweet, and spicy. Flavor is sweet and dry hoppy. Sticky texture that has caramel notes. VERY HOPPY. balanced between hops and caramel sweet malt.
