Cannonball is an India Pale Ale in the true tradition, massively hopped to survive a long sea voyage.
Heavily inspired by West Coast IPAs; the orangey, pine and citrus hop profile complements a dry malty backbone, while a rasping bitterness builds to a mouth puckering crescendo. This hop bomb will blow you out of the water...

Can. Hazy golden-orange pour with a thick, foamy, lasting head. Heavy lace on the glass. Resiny hops, grapefruit, some malty sweetness. Balanced. Mid-dry. Soft to average carbonation. Pretty darn good stuff.

Can (really nice design!) from Bottle Shop at home in new home. Hazy opaque golden yellow-orange. Aroma is floral-resinous - honey sweet and citrus peel. Taste is more resinous and grapefruit peel hops with profound bitterness. Balanced by sweet honey. Lasting boozy warm bitterness. Great IPA.

Sampled draft @ Tilquin English Beer Festival 2016. Very hazy orange, little white head. Nose is dank fresh onion hop, low yeast, garlic, hay. Taste easy yeast, big fresh onion & garlic hops, dank, some grapefruit. Very creamy, fun & pleasant. Nice fresh, almost chewy IPA. Nice one.

Can. Somewhat murky orange with a white head. Aroma of mandarins, grapefruit, pine, pepper. A little bread. Moderately sweet with loads of citrus and some mango. Mentholish pine comes in along with fairly strong bitterness to clamp down towards the end. Nice but forgettable.
