Three Floyds Dreadnaught Imperial IPA

Yikes !

An enormous example of big American Imperial IPA. At around 8% alcohol and 100 IBU this is not the beer for your corn-loving buddies.
Somewhere in all the bigness, you will find some peach or mango type citrus notes.

The Beer

Lots of two row, some melanoidin for color, and American citrus-type hops. Straight to the point.

Notes

You REALLY need to do a big starter or even make a smaller beer and use the whole yeast cake for this one. The yeast is going to have a rough time attenuating.
In addition, provide plenty of oxygen in the wort when pitching.
