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.

Bottle. A dark orange beer with no head. The aroma is very hoppy, sweet, and oily. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy and it has a very dry hoppy end. A very nice beer.

Bottle x3 or so. Pours a amber orange body with little head. Aroma is citrus, peach, floral notes. Huge hop character that destroys your palate. Almost a bit soapy. This beer is huge they could have probably stuck a few more abv points in here.

bottle. great spring floral aroma with some sort of citrus fruit, hard to put my finger on it. Cloudy, golden orange color, no carbonation, very small white head. nearly impossible to fully describe the flavor, tons of hops, a 3fs malty flavor only evident in the finish for a breif instant, then a long bitter citrus hop linger, i get a slight mango flavor right at the beginning, smooth all the way, but still a kick in the face. This is one crazy beer. great.

Bottle. Pours a golden orange with small head which diminishes in a snifter. Perfect 10 for aroma on this one, I could be happy smelling this all day - peaches/apricots, honey, sweet pine, citrus...amazing. Taste almost as good as aroma with sweet malt, peaches, and honey followed/balanced by perfect hops and grapefruit finish. Sweet but not as sweet as say 90 minute or hopslam. The most pleasant and pleasing IIPA I’ve had, and for that matter the best I’ve had.

Bottle courtesy Kmeves. Pours a nice amber copper color with a thick white head. Perfect carbonation. Lots of citrusy, pine aroma balanced by a nice amount of malt. Really hoppy, grapefruit juice taste with some malt peaking through. A big grapefruit dryness, also, that comes through a lot in the aftertaste. Dry hoppy bitter with a sneaky alcohol content, wow I liked this.

22oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber copper color with a thin mostly diminishing head that left little lacing. Aroma of hops; citrus, pine, floral, and a bit of alcohol with a touch of malt. Big hop flavor with a large orange character that balanced well with the malt and alcohol undertones. Medium body with a mildly lively carbonation and slight oily texture. The hop and alcohol finishing feel left me wanting this beer again. An excellent IIPA.

Bottle and tap. Wonderful orange amber with a beautiful lasting head. Huge citrus aroma mixed with the fruit blends perfectly. The wonderful bitterness is complimented by some mild light fruit sweetness. This is one of my favorite beers. Anyone who enjoys an IPA should try this beer.

Bomber from the brewery. Pours a burnt orange with minimal head. aroma has a bit of the peach, citrus, floral, and pine hops, some malt. Taste is mostly hops: flowers, citrus, pine, some fruit, with a slight alcoholic burn. Mouthfeel is full, lightly carbonated, sticky. Overall, this is a great bee. Impressive for the style, and in general, i recommend it.
