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...

0,33l can at home from trade with rich182, bit thanks. BB 150816. orange very hazy color, medium big white head. smells of lemon grass, flour, light leathery, very light notes of exotic fruits, overall good smell. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of pines / resin, candy, caramel, some lemon grass again, rather citric, light leathery notes. good stuff overall, a bit too much lemon grass for my liking, but quite enjoyable beer none the less..

Rerate from shared can at Mi2 at Cardinal 23.04.18. Translucent pale golden. White head and lacing. Fine aroma of fresh papaya, bitter grapefruit and Sevilla marmalade. Similar taste. Full mouthfeel. Good! From tap at Øst 21.01.16 with ABE and ACE. Almost clear golden. White head and lacing. Aroma and taste of bitter grapefruit. The same in aftertaste. Perhaps also some Sevilla marmalade and pine. Quite dry. [7/3/7/3/14=3,4]

330 ml can from Ales by Mail.
Amber, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, off-white head.
Aroma of citrus, passion fruit, apricot, mango, orange, some resin, subtle pine, some earth, biscuit.
Tastes of citrus, grapefruit, resin, passion fruit, peach, orange, grass, earth, biscuit.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation.
Finishes bitter, dry, zesty, resinous, piney, a bit grassy, a bit malty.
Very nice. Lovely nose, with loads of fruits, taste is pretty straight and bitter, with a nice dry and biting finish. Quite light bodied, hiding the ABV very well. I would have preferred the taste resembling more the nose, but still a really enjoyable, refreshing, hop-forward IPA.

Light hazy orangish color with a white head with good lasting and nice lacework, Aroma has notes of grapefruit, resin hops with citrus and orenage notes. Flavor has a decent bitterness, light flowery notes with resin hops, tropical fruits as well. Good bitterness in the final with good duration. Easy drinkable.

On tap at Borefts 2015. Clear, pale golden yellow, frothy, white head. Fruity-grassy aroma of grapefruit, pineapple, lemon. Sweetish-fruity, grassy taste, lots of grapefruit, lemon, pineapple. Long, medium bitter finish. Thin to medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice.
