Jun 12, 2008 8 oz. draft at the brewpub. Poured an "apple juice" gold/amber mixed hue with a small bright white head. Aromas are wonderous of floral hops, sweet malts, and mango. Initial taste provides a bitter tart hoppiness, with some wonderful peach / apricot notes that really are special. A nice bitter hoppy finish, but still refreshing and not overpowering despite its power (If that makes sense!!!). Medium bodied with a touch of pine in the finish that is noticeable half way through. Aftertaste lingers very well. A top notch beer that has some wonderful complexities. Will drink again. Cheers!

May 17, 2006 Rated from the cask at Dark Lord Day. Holy Hopness. Grapefruit aroma is awesome. Nice head. More balanced than I expected. Very tasty. Nice hops with a solid malt finish.

Mar 12, 2003 Deep orange amber hue. Big herbal, grapefruit, hop nose. Rocky off white head leaving some fine lookin lace. Big and chewy on the palate. Sweet toffee/caramel malts. Herbal, mint, grapefruit, tons of hops on a fairly full bodied brew. Spicey and pungent, alcohol is hidden very well. Im impressed, very well balanced for such a big friggin beer...Ive been looking forward to this one for awhile, but it was most definately worth the wait...Get yourself some dreadnaught, u wont regret. I wish I had some more growlers!

Dec 20, 2006 Wow. This beer could use some more hops. Ok, not really. Massive hop aroma ... definitely getting a touch of the mango, citrusy and floral hop, seems to me. Flavor is enjoyably hop-heavy with a touch of alcohol warmth and a lightly bittersweet fruitiness. Very good.

May 20, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a deep hazy amber color with a small white head and good looking lacing. Oily palate. Strong aroma of fruit and hops. Taste includes pine, citrus, and sweet caramel malty notes. The beer is pretty good, and well balanced for the style. The alcohol is there, yet rather well masked. A very good brew!

Jul 6, 2006 This is a solid brew to be sure, but has nothing compared to other great IPA’s like Hercules, and Ruination. The pour was the normal yellowish color with a decent white head. The aroma was a little off in my opinion. The smells were of pine and hops. The taste just doesn’t overwhelm at all! This is supposed to be a hop monster, and it just doesn’t deliver. I was really let down with this beer, and I am suprised to see that it ranks so highly."
