    i vote dreadnaught and citrus.

    Lol.. I would pay a pretty penny for a Dreadnaught shirt. This is something that FFF needs to create.

    My choice goes to Arctic Panzer Wolf. I enjoyed the orange citrus more than the leafy smooth Dreadnaught.

    Both "A's" in my book though..

    Pretty simple. Dreadnaught. Dreadnaught is such a fabulously created Imperial IPA that hits those crazy sweet mango fruity like notes while still giving you a balanced punch of hops. Don't get me wrong APW is a top notch DIPA, but it's no Dreadnaught. For me, Dreadnaught is my favorite beer of all time and for me the best of the best in the world. And I've had many of the top double IPAs available today. It's that good. I buy it every time it arrives. Another Double IPA from FFF that's often overlooked and a bit underrated is Apocalypse Cow summer seasonal. That was ridiculously good. Though IMO both APW and Dreadnaught are underrated as well. I mean Dreadnaught is a legit top 5 DIpA and APW and APocalypse Cow are both top 50 in the same style. Yet I don't see either of them there and Dreadnaught is 19ish? Wtf? It's a true 4.4 rated beer in BA scales and it's brothers should be upper 4.25s. FFF is really pumping out the good stuff.

    This one is super tight for me. I love both, 2 of my favorite DIPA's but really different also. What was wierd for me, on tap I had each twice, and I preferred APW. In a bomber, which I had one of each, I kinda preferred Dreadnaught. I do agree APW is more bitter, more of a hammer (but unlike Ruination, which to me is only bitter APW has more flavor), and Dreadnuaght may have more balance, but APW definitely has a sweet malt flavor.

    I don't know, maybe APW by a sliver, but both really different and really good.

    While both Arctic Panzer Wolf and Dreadnaught are both excellent, the answer is Permanent Funeral.

    I love Dreadnaught and I can't believe I haven't had the Wolf yet. Looks like it's time to submit!

    I definitely like the original Panzer Wolf bottle label better than the current label.:wink:

    Dreadnaught for sure but Panzer Wolf is one of 3 beers that completely shredded my palate.

    I've just had both in a period of a couple day. Both are great, but the Dreadnaught has a much more solid taste than APW.

    ^^^^ funny thing about zombie dust..
    It used to be called cenotaph and was rated much lower untill the lable and new cool name changed. Still a great beer... once again dreadnaught hands down.

    Dreadnaught was my favorite FFF's for years, but somehow the past year Arctic Panzer Wolf tastes better to me.
