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. Color: Slightly hazy golden, white head. Aroma: Hop, fruity, yellow fruit. Taste: Medium sweet malty and medium hoppy bitterness. Grapefruit, tropical fruit notes. Lightly resinous hop. Pretty smooth. No signs of the little bit higher alcohol percentage. Ok.

Sharp grapefruit on the nose but nothing else. Soft dense foam on cloudy yellow. Flavour is big sour grapefruit with a tangy finish. Simple but nice, no sign of alcohol.

Can from Selfridges, Marked down as the shelf date is a few days away. Hazy orange golden, small, bubbly head. Aroma is citrusy and dank. Taste focuses on the dank, some tropical notes, the tart side of juicy. Savory and peppery notes too. Still holding up.

16/3/18: Hardcore bitter, very resiny, some fruit (mango). Not my kind of IPA, but it is quite well made.
11/5/19: Wanted something simple yet solid, and this is the right choice. Nice bitterness, good bunch of hops, resin, pine, and a hint of stone fruit. Enjoying this more than the previous time.

Can. Vibrant amber coloured beer with a strong bubbly white head. The aroma is lightly hopped with some richness and a little yeastiness. The flavour is very strongly hopped with heavy bitterness and some rich maltiness. Overall a nice strongly hopped IPA. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
