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.

Pale deep golden. Dry hoppy and fruity soft aroma. Very good soft mouthfeel. The flavour is rather sweet with a good ripe fruitiness, soft bitter hoppiness and citrus. Comfortable smooth Imp. IPA. Thanks a lot for the share of this treat yespr!

75 cL bottle, trade with ygtbsm94. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Pine, dry grapefruit. Flavour is mild caramel malt, very balanced fruity hops flavour. Lovely complex flavour of fruit, soft english hops, mild sweet caramel malt base, nice bitterness and with little raisin sweetness into the far finish. Smooooth and complex, lovely.

[Courtesy of yespr, session @ yespr] Hazy golden with tiny short lasting head. Aroma is sweet and fruity with hoppy notes. Flavor starts hoppy with sweet middle and nice bitter finish. Fruity with raisins, peach and grapefruit. Nice

Delicious! Smooth and creamy yet bitter and metallic. Pours a deep dark orange, armoa is all citrus and metal. Flavor packs a wallop. Hits hard, but never overpowering.

22 oz bomber shared with Hawksfan17 even though he went to St. Joe’s. Pours an orange-brown; aroma is like that of a fruit bowl, probably the best smelling beer I’ve had. Floral style IPA; description says mango/peach but I was thinking pineapple. Aftertaste really stays. Definitely a great beer, but not quite the overwhelming flavor I was expecting from the top-rated IPA.

Pours hazy amber brown. Smells like rotting fruit, malt syrup, floral hops. Flavor is citrus and floral with a little kick of spice, Smooth.

Bomber shared with dpjuart, Nate, and foureyedgeek. Pours a hazy orange with a very small off-white head. Really fruity floral hop nose with a hint of rich, sweet caramel. The hop flavor is a lot more floral than citrus, but has a little bit of earthy undertone. The finish tastes like a sweet tea. If I had to find on thing against it, there was a huge contrast of sweet and bitter, but nothing in between. This caused a kind of weird sensation with the tongue where the front and back are going crazy and the middle feels left out of the party. Had a pretty milky body with an insane amount of taste layers.
