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.

Can 33cl. @home poured into an English pint glass. Hazy pale golden colour, good frothy white head, good retention, fair lacing. Fruity aroma, pale malts, peach, mango, tangerine, floral hops, pine resin. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, some biscuit, peach, grapefruit, pine resin. Medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation, lingering juicy bittersweet aftertaste, resinous notes all the way, easy to drink, well-balanced and rich brew, really good.

Blik geprobeerd met BramL. Het is een oranje geel bier met een medium witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een fruitige geur met tonen van citrus en grapefruit. De smaak is vol, fruitig, zoet en hoppig.

'Generic' IPA by Magic Rock, thanks to Craftmember for sharing the can. Medium thick, snow white, stable and moussy head on a hazy warm orange-glowing peach blonde beer. Aroma of fresh pink grapefruit, kumquat, mandarin peel, moist marijuana, wet biscuit, toasted onion, grass. Cleanly fruity onset, mandarin peel and persimmon impressions but relatively restrained in sweetness, softish carb, smooth oily body; cracker- and lightly biscuit-like maltiness, bittered by a confident, grapefruity, bit oniony hoppiness, long and dry with a certain dankness to it, but nevertheless remaining gentle, effective and refreshing. Typical IPA of our present time: an echo of the cleanness and bitterness of the West Coast tradition without actually going down that road completely, catering for the now huge masses of young consumers who find IPA as self-evident as any other mass-marketed beer genre; the fact that Magic Rock is now in the hands of a bigger concern, probably has something to do with this generic approach. I guess this is what one calls international IPA nowadays...

Tropiki, w stylu mango marakuja, trochę żywicy, nafty. Piana znika do zera. Goryczka zaznaczona, dość długa. Alkohol bardzo dobrze ukryty. Dobre, ale nic więcej.

Pours a lovely looking hazy pale gold, with a bubbly white head, and a wonderful aroma of resinous pine and citrus fruit. It's bitterness to the fore with this, on a smooth, softly carbonated mouthfeel, with juicy citrus fruit and hop bitterness combining fabulously
