Beautiful golden color with small white head and fair lacing. Aroma of bananas, pineapple and huge amounts of piney and floral hops. The taste almost mirrors the aroma on this. This is the second time I’ve had this and it’s better now than it was then. Thanks to cmr1517 for leaving the bottles at my house. Sorry man I couldn’t resist.

12oz bottle. Not a huge IPA guy but this bitty really impressed me. Pours copper with a small head. Nice and spicey IPA that goes has strong floral astrigent notes but yet has a rich fruit suggestions as well. Unbelievably balanced and has lots of complexity. My favorite IPA. Cant wait to get another one.

Draft. Wow this is tasty. I haven’t had this out of the bottle, but this one is amazingly drinkable. Loads of citrus and floral notes in the nose... the body follows along similar lines... poors relatively dark orange with a great orange-tinged head. great dry spice on the finish, this one has a dangerously smooth mouthfeel... never would have guessed it has such a high abv.

I really liked this beer. 12 oz bottle from Rozi’s in Lakewood OH. Poured an amber/orange with smallish white head. A very hoppy nose with some hints of citrus. Not as hoppy as the nose would indicate, good taste of citrus and spices. Nice finish and is very drinkable. I will defnitely try this one again.

Pours a nice clear golden orange with an off white head, good lacing. Aroma is floral piney hops with honey also. Flavor is sweet malt and honey balanced by lots of hop bitterness in the finish. There is also an interesting spiciness to this beer. Very well-balanced IPA - has the sweet/bitter balance of a DIPA without all the alcohol, which is impressive.

On Tap, wow what a hop BANG!!! Very nice hop aroma with a citrus note. Pours nice copper color with a nice whit head. Great lace throughout the whole beer. This is by far one of the best IPA’s I have had. It hits you at first with hops than smoothes out with a nice bitter ending. They should call this loaded cannon because it is loaded with HOPS!!!

After living abroad in Denmark for 5 months my taste of beer drastically changed. I returned to the US with a new love for beers with a little extra to it. I came accrose Loose Cannon while at summer school and have never turned back. The IPA remains packed with flavor and smooth for a +7ABV. My favorite IPA by far.
