Three Floyds Dreadnaught Imperial IPA

Draft Three Floyd’s Brewpub, numerous times and in the bottle. Aweosme sticky piney aroma, reminds me of college. Grapefuit and apricot comes through on the palate and the body is dense and full. Finish makes me want more.

Huge thanks to kmeves for this bottle. This is something I should probably share with my local RBeerians...but damn, it is just too nice outside while I’m smoking ribs to not have it. Pours a KAggie97 "cheddar orange" with very small head. Absolutely incredible nose of sticky hops, grapefruit, baked bread and fresh malt. Flavor is has an initially strong malt taste, then it turns quickly into those hops that were on the nose. Very meaty and full bodied, but not too thick or cloying. This is a beer I could drink a lot of if I could get it. Might be best that I can’t....thanks Kevin, awesome beer!

Bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with creamy slightly off-white head with never ending lace. When I popped the top citrus aroma exploded out. Serious fresh grapefruit. Vanilla, piney and flowery. Intense flavor and hops. This may be the best IPA I’ve ever had, but I’d love to try this next to the Alesmith Yulesmith.

A Mes rate: Bottle at Tom’s UGT Pt. 2.Bright amber with a thin white head. Big grassy and resinous hoppy stuff with a ton of fruit and a strong bready and alcohol laiden finish. A good start to a tasting but hugely over rated if you ask me.

An amber/orangish color, with a small head that forms and slowly laces down the glass. The aroma in one word, WOW! There is so much going on in the scent of this beer, citrus (mostly lemon and grapefruit), pine, floral, and earthy aromas. Man that is alot to take in. The taste has a good malt flavor right at the beginning, then the hops take over from there and dominate the flavor to very end. In the mouth it is very nice, it evenly coats the palate and the hops leave a nice dry finish. This beer is more drinkable to hop heads, not what I would call a good starter beer. This beer is truely a wonderful beer.

Picked up this monster in a 22oz bottle while on vacation and drank it back home. Poured a nice amber with some haze and an off-white head about 1.5 fingers high. Lacing settled to small rings around the glass as it went down and head disappeared after a bit. Some grapefruit bitter hints in the smells, but mostly it’s just dominated by nice hops. Round aroma with just a bit of a bite-very nice. The hops hits you right away in the taste and is the dominant character going down although there is some slight maltiness and sweetness mixed in along with the light fruit notes. Overall it is a very light and tasty for an IPA this strong and it goes down much smoother than I would have imagined with this sort of ABV. I’d like to drink more of it but it could be dangerous especially with bottles this big. I will definitely try this one again if given the opportunity.

Bottle from Ughsmash. This is more of a barley wine than I expected. Aroma of clover, peach , raisin. Strong flavor of tea. A bit of a disappointment.

Bottle at the supa cads disco tasting. Alround rating: Citrus, toffee malt, lychee, peachy apricot, everything i want in an iipa. Has the reputation and lived upto it.
