Cannonball is an India Pale Ale in the true tradition, high in alcohol and massively hopped to survive a long sea voyage. We don’t want you to wait though, take a swig and let the flavour explode on your palate. Tropically fruity, resinous hops compete against a sweet malty backbone, while a rasping bitterness builds to a mouth puckering crescendo. Our hop bomb will blow you out of the water.

I forget how good this brewery can be. Final clear out before the December frontal assault and I can't believe I've never rated this. Used to love it and buy loads. This is a rich and gently bitter proper ipa in the English style. None of your sweet fruit here, apart from perhaps a deep and rich note of plums. Slightly stewed. Lovely

Can at Hole in the Wall, Sliema. Pours copperish with an off-white head. Nose is light malty, caramel and biscuits are present alongside with pine and citruses. Taste is moderately sweet malty, somewhat even sticky with a rather apparent bitterness and hoppy notes of citrus zest, grass, vague fruits and pine. Closes with a slightly dry, bitter finish, has a light to medium body and average carbonation. Decent old school ipa.

Aroma of tropical fruits, grapefruit, mango, orange, a little malty caramel, some pine, hops. Flavour is light sweet with a good bitter finish. An IPA just the way I like it, tons of fruits and hops. Excellent beer.

Аромат сильно травянистый, слегка хмелевой. Пена быстро опадает, цвет мутно желтый, типичный для ипы. Вкус ровный, очень травяной, слегка ощущаются фрукты. Послевкусие долгое, некая травянистость долго остается осадком на языке. При сильном выдохе отчетливо ощущается хмель.

Slightly hazy yellow pour with a decent white head; aromas of tropical fruit, pine, peach, herbs; tastes the same, adding biscuit, citrus/grapefruit, some raisins for a decent bitter finish. Enjoyable.
