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.

Sample from July Beer Club Meeting. Cloudy orange-amber color with a soapy head. Flavor is sweet. Weltum thy vced-thyan geriuses. Aroma delectable. This is CANDY! So smooth. Clean. Perfect.

Light golden color. Smells of soapy clean water, citrus, like standing outside a redwood forest. Smells like the Meirwoods in Cali. "Nectar of the gods" says Butters. I agree. Fantastic f’ing beer. Super IPA. Maybe the best that I’ve ever had in my life. "It’s like what honey should taste like. If honey were so lucky" says Sean Lines.

Pours a clear golden/orange with creamy tan head. Aroma of fresh resiny pine hops, grapefruit, malts. Similar taste, an ideal balance of a hops, malts, alcohol. Best DIPA I’ve ever had hands down. Piny the Younger/Elder here I come!

Bomber sampled at Butters’ 1500 / MmmcKay’s 200 tasting. Clear orange pour with good off white head. Nose is simply a wonderful boquet of floral hops that melds together beautifully in the flavor with honey and pine. Abv is very well hidden. Perfectly balanced. Phenominal.

Pours an off-white head with some lacing and a golden-amber body. Aromas of citrus and floral hops along with honey. Flavor is the same with a malt backbone to back it up. Finish is citrus, floral, and a little sticky.

Pours a medium orange with a medium white head. Aroma is very fresh with massive hops and light fruit, citrus. Flavor repeats with nice crisp fruit and hops all the way through. Dry finish. Full mouthfeel. Not quite Pliny The Elder, but still a world-class DIPA. Overall, excellent.

bottle thanks to Ughsmash! Pours a light carmel with a tall frothy light tan head. Citrus hop and grapefruit aromas with some pine resin notes. First sip is just a huge wow. This beer is so big on many levels. The malt is nice and bready, mildly sweet with toasted nut flavors and a carmel undertone. The hops are strong and pronounced but not over bearing, lots of pine and grapefruit with a nice linger in the finish. It’s still dry, but with a hop wollop on the back of the tongue. This is powerful stuff!
