Double IPA
Three Floyds Brewing LLC
9.5% ABV
99 IBUs
22 oz bomber with no freshness date poured into a snifter. However, this bottle is most likely very fresh because the store just got it in.
Dreadnaught pours in a straw golden stream and forms a big and unwavering creamy off-white head atop the amber-peach hued beer. Very good head retention and good lacing. Very very DIPA.
Aroma is a mix of pungent hoppy notes and fruity notes (lemon, mango), and smooth malts at the back. Taste is lush and juicy fruit -- tons of citrus and mango with a solid and pleasant sweetness. The bitterness, however, doesn't seem nearly close to the 99 IBU's tag. Right body, right carbonation and an amazingly clean finish.
The overall regard for Dreadnaught might be because of the regard for Three Floyds but it's a very good DIPA too.
Scores: Appearance 4.5/5; Aroma 3.5/5; Taste 4/5; Mouthfeel 5/5; Overall 4/5
