Our brand new citrus IPA is exploding with bright citrus aroma and flavor. Creating an exciting new variation on our flagship Loose Cannon, TropiCannon clocks in at the same 7.25%ABV as its cousin, but packs a full blast of blood orange, grapefruit, mango and lemon flavor. We’ve downplayed some of Loose Cannon’s piney-ness and amped up the citrus by swapping Centennial and Palisade hops for Amarillo and even more Simcoe. We’ve introduced dried grapefruit, orange and lemon peel in the brewing process and added mango, blood orange and more grapefruit post-fermentation.

Tap at the brewery pours a clear gold, filmy white head. Nose just has citrus zest, grapefruit and tangerines and limes and orange, some candy or perfume. Flavor is more fake, sadly, sweet, artificial citrus, like candies or cough drops. Flabby finish.

Can Hazy dark yellow with a white head. Aroma of orange-ade The flavor is orange-ade with some hop bitterness. This can't make up it's mind to be a beer or a soft drink.

Cask at GBBF '18, day 4, 10/08/18. Murky golden orange with a well presented egg shell white covering. Nose is artificial citric notes, bubblegum, mango, Um Bongo rip, sweet malts. Taste comprises Sunny Delight, sweet sticky tropicana - not in a pleasant way, gumballs, sweet sugars. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with sticky hop notes. Not good ... if fake tropical fruits is your thing this beer is for you!

Consumed from a keg at my in-laws property over the course of a weekend. Perhaps not the best beer to think you could session all day, considering the 7.25% abv of it. The beer is more grapefruit than tropical fruit, but it's pretty nice none-the-less even if I was hoping for more tropical fruit notes. Oranges, grapefruit dominate the flavor as well. Very nice, but the alcohol certainly does sneak up on you pretty quickly.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2018. It pours cloudy orange with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is rather, sweet, oily, artificial fruit vibes, oily, fruit cordial, tinned fruit and umbungo. The taste is bitter - sweet, oily, artificial fruity character, orange fruits, tinned peach, raw hop burn, spice, grass, sugary, fruit syrup and booze with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Comes across rather fake. Not great...
