Three Floyds Dreadnaught Imperial IPA

Ahhh...another IPA from the infamous Three Floyds company. Fonnie picked this one up when he went out to Indiana and I was grateful he could find it. Anyone who's read my reviews before knows I'm not the biggest IPA fan, but this was one of my favorites.

Poured out with a very orange color (like the soda). It was kinda cloudy though with no head to speak of. Nose of orange and other citrus fruits. It was bitter and sweet at the same time and very hoppy. The taste was in the same line. Orange, flowers, and hops dominate the mouth. It was a very warming beer too - had the feeling of whiskey. The texture was extremely bitter but not like orange cleaning product (like I normally compare IPAs to).

Overall, if you like IPAs, this would be a wonderful choice to go with. If you don't, this will be the best experience you'll have with them. If you're undecided, give this baby a go - it's probably the best to have.

Appearance - 3.8
Smell - 4.0
Taste - 4.1
Texture - 3.7
Overall - 3.9/5
