12 oz. bottle given to me by Jan Primus (thanks again Jan!). Pours a nice deep golden with an orange tinge to it, and a medium white head. Aroma is perfect, sublte yet incredibly forward, floral and piney hopness, great stuff. Flavour is delicious! Perfect bitterness and hop character, and delicate sweetness from the solid caramel malt body. This stuff is awesome! Aftertaste is a perfectly balanced blend of the whole package. This is the best balanced IPA I’ve ever had. Awesome stuff. My favourite IPA I’ve had so far, maybe because I have a thing for Munich malts.

On Tap, wow what a hop BANG!!! Very nice hop aroma with a citrus note. Pours nice copper color with a nice whit head. Great lace throughout the whole beer. This is by far one of the best IPA’s I have had. It hits you at first with hops than smoothes out with a nice bitter ending. They should call this loaded cannon because it is loaded with HOPS!!!

Bottled @Marty’s Newton, MA. Golden color like a scotch, a slim but persistent cramy white head. Aroma is complex, sweety, floral and fruity, notes of apricot, citrus. Flavor is sweet, spicy and notes of alcohol. Mouth feel is spicy and bitter. Very good beer with a nice price @ Marty’s. THis place is the beer Paradise!

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.

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.
