Three Floyds Dreadnaught Imperial IPA

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

Draft from Three Floyds Brewpub. Wonderful citrusy aroma, hop flavor and bitterness. Definitely going to drink when ever I can get it.

Bottle (MT) at ØLklubben (2006 edition). Clear golden - white head. High hoppy, peach, pepper, caramel, nice light sweetness, light soapy, light toasted. Fantastic.

Medium offwhite head. Orange body. Citric straw and malt aroma with caramel notes. Dry medicinal straw taste with sweetish honey and resin notes. Fantastic richness in the taste. Excellent! (0.66l bottle at RBNAG’07. Quite late, so want to rerate this.)

Bottle. [ Courtesy of drewbeerme ] Unclear medium orange color with a average, frothy / creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy hoppy, grapefruit, citrus, mango, peach, moderate malty, caramel. Flavor is moderate sweet and moderate to heavy bitter with a long to average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (271007)

Bottle, not very fresh from what I can tell. Citrusy hop aroma. Definitely get some mango. Not much of a head. Seemingly harsh flavor with little hop character. Wish I could get a fresh brew.

Sampled bottle, RBNAG 2007 in Grimstad. Orange colour. Intensely hoppy aroma and flavour. Another example of overkill.

Cloudy orange. sweet with floral aromas. sweet hop flavor with some malt. top IPA

Aroma of sweet pineapple, malt, light cheese. Amber orange color with off white head. Very well balanced initial flavors. Hoppy bitterness is evened out with a honey sweetness. Light saltiness. Alcohol in not present at all. Very creamy palate. Nice balance. Very good overall.
