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.

22 ounce bottle in pint glass. Clear copper with lasting head and lace. Pungent sweet lemony lemonade and mild biscuit aroma. Toasted caramel biscuit with grapefruit and melon and brisk resiny hop-flavored lingering bitter finish. Medium-full body and medium carbo. Absolutely delicious and very hoppy with tons of flavors and none of them off. Well-hidden alcohol, virtually no taste or smell. At 9.5% this could be dangerous. Awesome. Deserves the hype.

Orange and somewhat cloudy, with a very hoppy aroma. A very hoppy flavor as well, with a smooth, creamy palate. It reminded me of a "triple" IPA. Dreadnaught is a classic example of the American DIPA style.

Bottle. [rerate] I just had this wonderful brew a few more times since my original rating. I think that it deserves an update. As far as appearance, it is excellent considering the style. It looks just like an IPA should. The aroma is the real selling point though. The huge amount of floral and pine hops grab you and pull you in. You couldn’t resit tasting if you tried. [original rating 9/4/10/4/19] This is my overall favorite IPA so far. The balance is perfect. Bitterness, malt, abv, carbonation, it all fits together extremely well. The bitterness is wonderfully accompanied by the underlying hints of mango and peaches.

Rating #900. Bottle from a trade with StFun. Pours orangish color with off white head. Strong citrus aroma of grapefruit and oranges and some sugary sweetness. Nice amount of hop bitterness without overdoing it. Lots of citrus and some pine balanced with a touch of sweet caramel maltiness, no too sugary or syrupy. Medium body with average carbonation and a resinous mouthfeel. Excellent!

Thanks to Honkeybra for introducing me to Binny’s. This is about it as far as Double IPAs. I guess I can die happy now.

Deliciousness and delicocity combined. Best IPA I’ve had to date. So good I want to do dirty things to it. Aroma is oh so fruity and the taste clings to the tastebuds for days. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....love this beer. Just wish I could afford more of it

On tap at FFF, amber color with citrus and flowery hops. Smooth and mouth watering...had two more pints and bought a 22 fl. oz. bottle.
