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. Orange color. Grapefruit, mint and lime in the lovely aroma. Very fiorm oily, earthy and flowery, somewhat perfumed hopbitter flavor. Long oily grapefruity, hopbitter aftertaste with rubber. Good beer, especially the aroma convinces.

thanks to boltz7555 for bringing this gem to the PHX local 666 meeting... pours an amber color mixed with orange-brown topped with a whitish head. floral aroma is packed with sweet caramel grains, grapefruit and a touch of pine... very simple and straight forward. the flavor is very similar and simple with a rather dry and tart citrus finish. this is greatly appreciated since my palate is bombarded by sugar the entire time! medium to full bodied but somehow not sticky. oily texture. far too sweet to be enjoyed.

Draught at the Map Room, Chicago. This rich, bitter beer has a complex floral and citrus aroma and a boozy flavour which is massively bitter with some soft fruit. Personally, I prefer the sticky sweetness of Goose Island Imperial IPA and Three Floyds’ own Alpha King, but this was very good nevertheless.

Sampled at the Hellbilly Phoenix event. My first Three Floyd’s brew. Thanks BOLTZ7555! Pours a nice amber with a creamy light head. Lots of pine hops and grapefruit in the aroma. Nice sweet citrus malty flavor with a big hop finish. Very nice.

That a beer as big as this manages to entirely eliminate the finish is remarkable, though it is the maltiest double IPA you’re likely to find. Great sweet orange notes with very floral qualities. No pine, peel or burn. Great work, Nick!

22oz - Last of my Indy trip stash. Light tan head over hazy gold liquid. Hops, booze and cloves on nose. Sweet, minty palate. Different in a good way, but a little to sweet for the style.
