Clipper City Heavy Seas Loose Cannon Hop3

Pours hazy medium orange witha frothy off-white head. Aroma is heavy malty of grain, and bread. Moderatly hoppy pine and herbs. Lighty yeasty of bubblegum and a touch of alcohol. Flavor starts lightly sweet but malty / grainy and heavily bitter then finishes ith citrus grapefruit with a long finish.

Nice big hoppy kind of thing, lots of bitter, lots and lots of flavor. Totally would order this again!

Cask at Thirsty Monk. Bright clear orange w/ huge head and persistent lacing. Good hop aroma but not overwhelming and it’s masked a little by a sweet graham crackery maltiness.Starts out nice and hoppy in the mouth but quickly faded into a biscuity fruity hop thing. A smooth easy drinking IPA, biut didn’t quite live up to the hype

Hmm, good IPA but I’m a sucker for IPAs that have a big grapefruit flavor. VERY drinkable. I downed this sucker in no time. Glad I got another bottle but would love to try on draught.

In short: A malt-deficient aggressive bottle of perfumed floral hop juice. Ok at best.
How: Bottle 12oz, probably very fresh (consumed a week after receiving it) from RCL. Thanks a lot Raymond
The look: Clear golden body topped by a small but long-lasting white head leaving lots of lacings
In long: Nose is very floral (borderline perfumy) with some fruity nose. Taste has some woody malts with a not-so-great plywood flavour. A bit oily. Lots of floral hops with a short but sharp and intense bitterness. Juicy floral petals kind of resume the hop profile to me. I had a feeling of a lingering after-shave flavour!?! Alcohol is apparent and the beer is only 7.5%, I would have guessed even higher. Overall this is plywood, alcohol, biting bitterness. That beer desperately needs a bigger malt backbone. That Loose Cannon misses the target, makes sense.
