Loose Cannon Hop3 Ale is a triple hopped IPA containing over 3 pounds of hops per barrel. Not for the faint of palate, it has an intensely floral, spicy, and citrusy hop aroma and flavor. Available year round

12 oz bottle given to me by a friend that I converted to craft beer. Pours a great looking orange with a large pillowy creamy head, real impressive. Aroma is tons of hops, piney resin, grapefruit rind, and smoothed out with some grainy malts. Medium to full bodied with a strong dose of carbonation, creamy mouthfeel and a slightly bitter finish. Flavor of fresh hops, caramel, floral hops, bitter citrus and slight grain. Really well done IPA, bordering on IIPA territory. This beer is called Loose Cannon but after drinking a few of these I am finding that my pants are no longer that loose, damn irony.

Courtesy of Yngwie & Gunnfryd. Orange-golden with a nice, creamy head. The aroma is nicely fruity hopped with a light caramel sweetness and notes of oranges and other orange citrus fruits. The flavour also has a lot of fruity hops with notes of citrus, papaya, mango, oranges and a light, but nice caramel. It’s really nice!

Bettle->tulip: Pours an off-white, large head that exhibits spare lacing atop of a murky, light brown body. The aroma of malt is average, hops are floral, and the yeast is musty. The body is medium, the texture is oily, and the beer finishes astringently. The flavor’s duration is average the acidity and bitterness are moderate. Not a bad IPA, but I wish it were more hoppy and bitter--while very drinkable--I’d opt for a more true-to-form IPA if given the opportunity.

Can’t remember who sent this one...Thanks though!
Pours a light medium amber color with a smallish offwhite head. Smell is fruity, floral hops and some metallic notes at 1st which eventually fade. Taste is mild at first with sweet, fruity malt, and hops. Somewhat mildly bittered, I thought. Pretty decent overall.

On draft at GL. Pours a clear golden copper with a medium sized beige head. Aroma of floral and citrus hops with a piney presence. Taste of piney hops with hints of citrus and floral undertones.

On Firkin pours a golden color with a large marshmellow like head. Smells like a pine tree. Mouthfeel is smooth and medium. Tastes like a beautifully malted and citrus union. Good brew.

Firkin. Orange with a big fluffy head ... kind of surprisingly big. Big floral hop nose with some citrusy notes. Very hoppy taste nicely balanced by the more subtle malts. A great IPA.
