Three Floyds Dreadnaught

Imperial / Double IPA

Three Floyds, Munster, Indiana, USA

I RATE THIS BEER: 94

RELEASE: Year Round // THE ABV. 9.5% | IBU’s. 99 // THE NOSE: Pickled Onion, Celery, Melted Butter, Kalamata Olive, Pine Nut, Peanut Butter, Blueberry Jam // THE TASTE: Graham Cracker, Hibiscus, Rosehip, Tahini, Blood Orange, Horseradish // THE BOTTOMLINE: Malted and hopped to delight those seeking that 'really huge' India Pale experience, this ale is something akin to IPA 'gone to the gym.' There is absolutely nothing coy about this ripped Imperial monster. If you’re the sort of IPA swooner that openly invites a hop flavored wrestling match onto your tongue, then you’ve found your perfect battle in ‘Dreadnaught.’ This is an ale of niche and connoisseurial appeal to be sure, a professional IPA drinkers beer and as such the hop unenlightened will without question find this overly abrasive - you have been warned. // THE BACKBONE: ? // PRICE POINT: $12 | 1x 22oz bottle //
