Our flagship beer, Loose Cannon wins people over at first smell. The carefully cultivated interplay of Simcoe, Palisade, and Centennial creates a most fragrant IPA - its nose bursts with notes of grapefruit, herbs, and pine. Bitterness is somewhat subdued by the floral quality that pervades the taste. The color is burnished gold, and the mouthfeel is creamy. A strong malt backbone balances out the triple-hopped beer. Its nickname, Hop3, comes from the brewing process: our brewers hop Loose Cannon in the boil, the hopback, and the fermenter. It won a second place CAMRA award at the 2010 Great British Beer Festival.

Bottle from Systembolaget. A smashing IPA that provided good hazinessbwirh strong balanced hoppage. (15/2/21). ---- Can from Publix, Augusta. This is my 5th can of this and I have enjoyed every can. This is a cracking IPA that I could drink for dayz, as I have. Aroma is exactly how it should be, musty fruity hops. Nice deep gold. Taste is pretty spot on and good boozy bitterness. Everything is in good balance as it should be. Kept at 4.1. Great IPA.

Flaska från SB. Klar gyllengul vätska med medelhögt krämigt vitt skum. Rejäl kropp. Fruktig med citrus men på ett torrt och zestigt vis snarare än juicig. Snygga kexiga maltsmaker som drar åt karamell. Lite mineraler, gräs, kryddor. Men det är malt och kropp som är bäst och bär och håller ihop smakerna. Typisk östkust-IPA och riktigt välbalanserad och välbryggd. Gott
