Clipper City Heavy Seas Loose Cannon Hop3

On tap at Coasters. Huge hop aroma of pineapple and grapefruit. Pours a light orange typical of the IPA style. Flavor is of light grapefruit with a hint of roses. Palate is sticky for an IPA but I’m not complaining. Overall a very good IPA.

Pours a clear amber with thick white head that sticks to the glass. Very floral type hops, very little citrus, lots of pine, and a little resin. Taste is very similar, but comes together horribly. Slick mouthfeel with long lasting floral hops taste after. Not impressed with this. Rerate: I don’t remember who sent this to me as an extra, but I remember being a little irked because I had already rated it, have it readily available, and didn’t really like it the first time around. Well, now I am very glad they sent it, because I must have had a bad bottle before. This is not the best IPA I have had, but definitely very solid. Pours a slightly hazy clear orange with thick white head, lots of lacing. Aroma mostly of citrus hops, slight floral, slight grass, pine, and bit of spice. Flavor matches well and DOES come together nicely. Very solid. Thanks to whoever sent this as a bonus to me, because I would have likely never tried this again!

Tap. Pour is lighter amber with dense white head. Aromas of floral hops, resin, and citrus. Flavor is citrus, sweet malts, and somewhat watered down. Not bad but nothing great.

12 oz bottle from Ryans Party store in Port Huron Pours a nice hazy orangy copper with a good sized frothy white head LOTS of sticky lacing all the way down the glass The aroma is big on hops citrus and grapefruit The taste is all hops very nice hop taste actually i never knew until recently thta i am a hop head Very nice brew

Pours with large lasting white head and a clear and slightly underwhelming gold color. Aroma is a floral hop with a good citrus kick. Some good piny hop flavors and a little bitter bit. Overall seems watery, may be a little old but not all that great.

Hops in the nose, maybe still there after the beer is gone. Also some orange essence and light grassiness. Perfect head upon pouring, with a copper color translucent liquid. Flavor has plenty of hop character, but little bitterness considering. Certainly a citrus influence as well. Finishes rather creamy for the style and smooth. For 1.89 at World Market in Louisville, I can’t believe the quality that poured out of this bottle.

Ah the grapefruit nose - hoppy happiness on my tongue with no bitterness. One of my favs.

Overall Impression: This was a pretty enjoyable beer from Clipper City, nice hoppiness.
