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.

Pours a cloudy orange with a little bit less than a finger of light head. Lots in the aroma, various sweet hops and fruits. Really soft sweet initial taste, that builds slowly and increasingly complex as it ends with a really nice bitterness. I was initially disappointed that the hoppiness wasn’t more in your face, but the more I sip, the better it gets. Really complex, really good

Aroma packs a punch. Lots of grapefruit, citrus, lemon, orange, mango. Great. Flavor has all of the above and a lot of sweetness. Balanced but hangs on for a while, in every direction.. Delicious.

Pours a slightly hazy gold with a beautiful thick head. Aromas of citrus and...soap? Sweet up front with a nice bitter bite closely following. Bitter finish that seems to go on for ever! This has got to be the smoothest and most drinkable IIPA I’ve ever had. This is pure decadence! It really doen’t get much better than this, well worth the high price tag!

poured from a bottle into a tulip glass. It starts with a beautiful off-white foamy head. A peachy nose with floral accents. Now to the most important part . . . the taste. Great hop taste upfront followed by a fantastic caramel note. a great complex brew for one of my favorite styles right now. The hop taste continues to line your mouth until your next sip. Believe the hype!

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!
