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.

First taste I found here was bitter hops. The bitterness never left but some malts soon became evident. Typically IPAs are quite sour tasting but this one was not. The malts gave it a sweetness which I found appealing. IPAs are not my favorite style of beer but this one was exceptional.

Great hop aroma, citrus, pine and resin, spicy. Rich golden blonde color with a thin white head. Great hop flavor that doesn’t linger heavily. Citrusy, spicey, Piney and resiney, it reminds me of a mild 90 Minute. Not a bad beer, 2nd favorite so far from this brewery.

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.
