Dec 9, 2008 Updated: Sep 25, 2009A big thank you to Adrian for bringing around a bottle of this here nectar of the gods. This is definitely one of my highest rated beers. I wish I could get my hands on this stuff more frequently, because it puts other, very respectable, IPAs to shame. Rich gold-amber pour and colorful label. The aroma is floral and pine hops, juicy and fragrant, with a touch of honey in there too. Dreadnaught is a beautifully balanced IPA - mellow bitterness joined with perfect malt, plus flavors of peppers and fruits. Very smooth, but still makes a strong impression. The Floyds have succeeded in making a flawless IPA!

Dec 7, 2008 Thanks to kylefleeger for the pour. After having Pliny the Elder I find this Double IPA to be its only equal thus far in my drinking experience. It features a bit more sweet citrus but the two are so close in flavor that its hard for me to differentiate between the two. An amazing beer to say the least.

Dec 7, 2008 Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a small, off-white head and a hazy golden hued body. Good lacing. Aroma is quite nice with hops, pine, and orange, maple syrup and brown sugar. Taste is a ton of hops with some exotic fruits and caramel. Light carbonation and syrupy mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden.

Dec 5, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy deep amber with a minimal head. Aroma is very crisp and all citrusy grapefruit hop. Flavor is also very crisp with a ton of citrus hop and a nice malt balance. Truly one of the best of the IIPA style.

Nov 28, 2008 (10/16/08) Bottle at friends’ house in Philadelphia. Slightly hazy amber color with a medium beige head. Aroma full of hops, citrus, some piney notes and some balancing caramel and biscuits. Sweet flavor with quite a bit of malt, caramel, some biscuit notes, a bit of honey and some nutty notes. Continues bitter and hoppy with nice grapefruit and lemon notes but the malty background is always apparent. Medium to full-bodied. Very good and quite balanced.
