Clipper City Heavy Seas Loose Cannon Hop3

Wow, a beautiful hop aroma that has everything I look for in a hop aroma. Fruity hops along with some bitter hops that are very potent. The hops don’t seem that they were cheap hops. They are very floral and nice. I just think this hop smell is great. The beer is a nice orange color that looks pleasing to the eye, but nothing special. The beer is a bit thin to me, not as creamy as their other beers. I do like the fact that the beer is less malty than their other beers. I get a citrus hop flavor with the beer. The beer overall has a nice flavor hop, but the bittering hop is just right. It doesn’t overload the beer with a bitter taste, it allows each of the hops to shine. You can taste some of the differnt hops in the beer which is great. Again, the beer is not as thick as I would like, but the flavor is just excellent. Great brew.

pours amber with a white head. solid hop aroma, floral, some citrus and pine evident. taste is nice, smooth, some citrus, hops, alcohol, sweetness. a bit bubbly with a bitter finish. a nice IPA!

Bottle. Orange/amber color, the hops are evident. It has just enough spice, and is a little sweet with a slight bitter aftertaste. It goes down easier than most IPAs. Very good.

Orange in color with a lacy sort of head. Nice hoppy smell with fruits and floral present. Weaker than I like in a IPA but very drinkable.

Another wondefully hoppy aroma from these guys with a slight bit of caramel it seems. Flavor has a strong hop character, a bitter finish with a little noticeable alcohl, but quite good all around.

Bottle, courtesy decaturstevo. Pours clear bright coppery amber with a thin, but surprisingly lacy white head. Lots of aroma as soon as I cracked this one: grapefruit, caramel, fruit, flowers, alcohol. Big medium body, bordering on chewy. Lots of sweetness in the taste - so much that it postpones the finish until the layer of sugar clears from my tongue. Citrus-infused caramel taste. Flowers, pine and grapefruit on the exit. Final score: Hop 3, Malt 3. I figured the hops would have pulled out the win on their home court.

bottle from ucusty. BB jan/08. pours orange/amber with a off white head. aroma is all hops with grapefruit, caramel malt and pine thrown in. flavor reminds me of carrot cake....spices, grapefruit/orange, grass and some piney alcohol. leaves a very perfumey grapefruit aftertaste. medium body and carbonation.

Nice brew. You can tell it’s triple hopped. The aroma of citrus right at opening. Taste is brisk with a citrus bitter finish.
