Three Floyds Dreadnaught Imperial IPA

Brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Munster, Indiana USA

Thanks to emacgee for the shared bottle. Golden orange pour. Citrus and mango on the nose, but also surprisingly malty and astringent. Not JUST a hop bomb! Very well balanced, more than any other IPA I’ve had. Good mouthfeel, and crisp finish. Really enjoyed this.

Pours an amber gold with a one finger yellow head. The nose was earthy, malty, sweet, caramel, much more malt than expected, some citrusy hops but the nose overall was quite subdued. The flavor was similar, much more of a balanced IIPA than I was expecting. Some grapefruit peel, earthy, sweet caramel malt, some bitterness, alcohol doesn’t really show up. The palate was sweet and full with a nice hop bitterness to it. Overall just not as big and juicy as what I was hoping for.

22oz bottle via trade. Pours a lightly hazed golden orange with a big n’ fluffy white head with amazing lacing. Tons of fresh tree fruit and pine in the nose. I was not very impressed at first, with every sip the beer kept getting better. Didn’t quite live up to the hype for me, still a great IIPA.

Deliciousness and delicocity combined. Best IPA I’ve had to date. So good I want to do dirty things to it. Aroma is oh so fruity and the taste clings to the tastebuds for days. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....love this beer. Just wish I could afford more of it

Bottle aquired in trade with StFun. Poured a orange color with little to no head. Smelled of sweet citrus flavors. I was expecting a lot more bitter hop flavor but the hops were smooth on the palate. Along with a little bit of malt backbone made it smooth on the palate. Very good beer.

From DTM trade back East. This brew was, of course, not typical of Imperial IPA as we’re used to on the West coast. There was a distiinct, malty backbone that held the brew up in your mouth. The hops were readily noticed along the wave of malt. This brew wasn’t overly hoppy, but it was without a doubt one of the best IPAs I’ve had.

pours dark dark orange. with small of white head aromas are of hops lots of of hops witha fruity nose. taste is intense with hops bitter and sweet and also dry. but i think i’ll keep to my stouts

650 ml takeout portion courtesy of General Gao. Fuzzy orange-copper with a medium head that turns to a lasting disc of cream, leaving a touch of frosting all over the glass. Big nose of sweet melon, molasses and orange is countered by some earthy resin, oak and cocoa. Front flavors are a great mix of orange, molasses, brown sugar and grapefruit. Turns to resin, wood, pecan and cocoa just enough to give great balance to the big malt and floral hops. Medium-heavy body is smooth with mild carbonation, lightly tingly with hops, and has a little touch of alcohol warming. The hop recipe/blend in this one is superb; doesn’t seem near as harsh as many others with much less IBUs.
