Clipper City Heavy Seas Loose Cannon Hop3

Great IPA one of my favorites. Definitely more hoppy than malty but a nice balance between the two.

In my opinion, this is a more hop-heavy brew than Stone Ruination IPA. It lacks some of the balance of the latter, but makes up for it with a monstrous bouquet of flowers and grapefruit. In the mouth, the grapefruit is so dominant, that I may just stop drinking grapefruit for breakfast and become an AM Ale drinker. Impressive if overstated. But then again, a triple IPA is not about subtlety. Too good (not)to share.

Bottle purchased at Corral Liquors in Granite City, IL. Pours a sparkling amber with a rocky, off-white head that laces fairly well. An interesting nose: herbal, floral and citrus hops with a light caramel malt backing. It’s been a while since I’ve had an IPA that didn’t punch me with a distinct pine or grapefruit aroma up front. Medium-bodied and slick with a nice bitter finish, the flavor is citrus, flowers, earthy herbs, pepper and caramel malts backing up the show. A nice blend of flavors and a tight bitter finish. A refreshingly different and mouthwatering IPA that demands you take another sip.

Golden straw pour with a medium white head. grassy hoppy aroma. light malt in the background. This is hop forward and dominant. Body is adequate. very bitter.

Pours a murky orange brown with a tan head. Aroma of citrus hops. Big Hop taste with some citrus and toffee. Full mouth feel. Smooth nice finish. Great IPA.

Very delicious IPA... double IPA, whatever it is. Totally sweet, I lurrrve it.

Pale yellow pour, thick white head. Very nice hoppy, grapefruit aroma. Mouthfeel is very good, syrupy and thick that fills the mouth with goodness. Taste is of citrus, hops, and floral flavors. Not bitter at all (not typical for style), sweet finish. Good beer.

A good strong IPA but not in the upper tier. Sweetness detracts a bit from the refreshing feel. Agree with the poster who called this one almost a baby barley wine.
