Three Floyds Dreadnaught Imperial IPA

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

Bomber shared with Illini08 and nimrod. Thanks, Nimrick! This beer poured a beautiful hazy orange color with a very nice white head. This is by far the best looking IIPA I have seen. The aroma consisted of a lot of apricot and citrus fruits wiith subtle hop character and a lot of malt. I was expecting a lot more hops out of this one. The taste was also predominately apricot based with a lot of malt character and hops in the background. Finished with me wanting more! Thanks Nimrick for sharing this tasty beer!

Very nice solid orange appearance. Head was nice but diminished. Aroma of grapefruits and maybe some lime and cotton candy. Lively carbonation and great citrus bitterness from the hops and very well balanced with the malt. Maybe a little more malt than hops is there, but the bitterness lingers longer than the sweetness. I enjoyed this one a lot and would never turn another one down.

Fresh Bottle bought at the brewery 2 weeks ago at DLD. Poured a dark orange color with a thin white head. Smells like I’m walking in a hop field. I think they should patent this for hop perfume. I’m not sure about mangos and peaches, but I smell hop fields, pine, and some slight sweetness. Has a medium mouthfeel. Tastes like I’m chewing on a sweet resin candy bar. Has a sweet punch in the face pine, gregarious sweet caramel, and spank the monkey finish making me want more. Overall this is a great brew fresh.

bottle, I was not impressed by this at all. I thought it was incredibly bland and do not think it belongs in the top 50, I was also not at all blown away by the supposed huge amount of hops.I got mainly malty taste with a bit of hops, I’m not sure if I got a bad bottle or this beer is just very overrated. I would like to try again to see if my opinion still stands but as of now I would not buy this again

Shared with John from Churchkey and a few others, Dark amber colornose is ALL hops!!!! flavor is similar but nicely balanced juicy hops with some malts there in the back to balance it, fantastic brew.

I have had this on tap and in bottle many times and I am now finally putting my rating to RB from a 22oz bomber thanks to Holdenn for picking this up from the brewery for me. Slight cloudy orange/dark amber with large, creamy, long lasting off-white head and lots of lacing, settles to a pancake head, pretty beautiful. Aroma is very fresh citrus hops and bubblegum with caramel, very enticing. Flavor big pine and citrus with sweet caramel, alc, bubblegum, all the while settling to a nice gooiness on my tongue. Full, creamy body. So well balanced and yet such a hop bomb. Three floyds can make all the Helles and Alpha Kongs they want as long as they never stop making this wonderful beer.

Damn! I love IPA, and this one just kept giving. Rich golden amber honey color. Light opacity. Amazing nose. Sweet floral aromas, with layered, almost tropical fruit and aromas. Pine, guava, papaya, even a touch of watermelon. Gorgeous creamy, soft texture. Golden raisin, coriander, delicate malt, papaya, and of course, HOPS. Lingering, mouth-coating richness without being heavy. touch of nuttiness on the finish. Decievingly smooth and easy for and Imperial IPA.
