Our OG Imperial IPA, Dreadnaught ups the ante with intense citrus hop aromas, a huge malt body, and a crisp finish. Notes of pine, mango, and pineapple are balanced by A strong malt bill which creates a wonderful partner to the strong hop bitterness.

Can (2/16/21) pour. It's a hazy gold-amber (fine particulate mist) with nice, lazy sparkle, finger-width white fluffy foam head with good retention and beautiful rings of lacing. Aroma is strong lemon citrus and mango with lesser pine and a caramel malt backbone. Taste is strong citrus, pine and caramel malt. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation, mild alcohol warmth and finish as taste without too much bitterness (really 100 IBU?). Overall, this is about as quintessential an West Coast IIPA as you're going to find (hence the high ratings). I'm sure this sparked tons of imitators. I like the juicier turn things have taken but appreciate this.

Pours slightly hazed deep gold into a tulip. White head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Tangerine, dark caramel and dried apricot aromas. Thick with hot caramel and sweet and sour citrus upfront turning to pine, pith and peel in the dry, lasting finish.

Crowler from UNO’s in Hamilton, NJ. Amber orange pour is topped by a frothy beige head. Nice clinging lace. Earthy, spicy resinous hop aroma. Notes of peach and mango as well. Flavor is bittersweet piney hops, toasted malt and warming alcohol. Complex and spicy. For such a big brew, this is amazingly soft on the palate, making it an easy drinking DIPA. Finishes slightly sweet with citrusy, piney notes. Fantastic!

Way old backlog from Mikkeller and Friends. Couldn’t remember I had this one bit... oh well. Pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is very hoppy, lemon zest, lime, sweet citrus, malty sweetness. Taste is fruity, hoppy, lemony, citrus, some tropical fruits and some malty sweetness in the back.

Bottle. Orange color. Grapefruit, mint and lime in the lovely aroma. Very fiorm oily, earthy and flowery, somewhat perfumed hopbitter flavor. Long oily grapefruity, hopbitter aftertaste with rubber. Good beer, especially the aroma convinces.
