Three Floyds Dreadnaught Imperial IPA

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

Pours out w a nice thick(quickly dissapating)head.Great lacing.Has that wonderful deep orange/copper/hazy color.Nice taste/more balanced than the alpha king.I was expecting an assault of hoppage(it was a perfect blend of sweet malt and great hops)Very smooth on the tongue.Nice dry finish.Hard to find & expensive but well worth the expirience.Yummy heady hops w/ the perfect malt complement.Time has told me(Nick Drake)this is my favorite beverage labele beer.Nothing like being there(Coventry)w/ a Dreadnaught in hand.

Bottle. Wow! What a complex and amazing IPA. First smell was grapefruit, but I detected some roasted malt on my next. I had to keep smelling because of the complexity of the ale. Piney, hop-clean aroma. Forward hops on the tongue, maltiness, then a slightly bitter, full finish. Excellent balance. An enigma of a brew, so good. I find myself taking smaller and smaller sips because I know that at one point my glass will be empty.

Thanks Ramenen. Bottle: Excellent balance, alcohol, hops, herbal, bitterness, colour and aroma; it’s all there. Just great.

WOW!! I had read the reviews on this and it totally blew me away. An amazing double IPA with tons of hops, fruitiness, bitterness and great taste. A great one not to be missed. Wish I had more of these. The balance in this brew is just amazing

Great Frothy head!! Really serious looking brew. Got a nose full of a piney, citrusy hop smell. OOOOH!!! That was good. A whole lot of taste sensation going on her. Great balance. Such a smooth beer!!

I finally get to rate this thanks to a trade with DarkElf! Pours a beautiful clear amber with a rocky off-white head. Aroma is very hoppy/citrusy but equally malty as well. Taste has strong notes of pine, hops, caramel and citrus/grapefruit. Just perfectly balanced with the malt and hops. Pretty sweet with a very bitter aftertaste and dry finish. Mouthfeel is very full, round and creamy with subtle carbonation, just glorious on the palate. Goes down a lot smoother than other I2PAs without losing any of its balls. Great head retention and lacing hangs on the glass in sheets. Without a doubt, one of the best beers I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

WOW. This beer is my new favorite. The aroma is that of mangos and sweet dreams. The taste is perfectly blended and pleasantly fruity; i didnt think i would ever like a fruity beer. The finish is amazing, and only calls for more. Three Floyds should be congradulated for making an amazing brew.

I’ve had this bomber in my fridge for almost a week and have been wanting to suck it down for longer. So here goes. Wow, what a beautiful shade of orange, like a dark orange soda with a nice white head and effervescent flow of bubbles throughout. Smell is amazing! Smell is quite hoppy, but subtle hints of orange candy, as well as peaches are present. Oh man, I can’t believe I get to taste this... Definitely hoppy, definitely malty. Definitely feel the alcohol warm in the chest. Now, what does it taste like? Definite variety of citrus fruits. Actually, tastes most like an uglifruit with grapefruit. Finish is outstandingly bitter and hopped to hell, but there is definitely some outstanding malt! What a balance! Man, this is superior to any IPA I’ve tried. Almost no aftertaste, except for a light, orange juice sort of aftertaste. Would be very refreshing, if used for that. Just an oustanding beer from my favorite brewery.
