Cease Fire (a.k.a. Twin Cannons) is our double IPA. This is a big, malty and hoppy beer. Thanks to the Chinook hops this double IPA has a fruity Apricot/Peachy front end and a hop character that you would expect from a balanced double IPA.

5.8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Copper and bronze coloured body with a thinnish, single to perhaps two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of resin, nutty and earthy hops with a distinctly herbal bite showing a bunch of bitterness, but also a lot of alcohol and malt with some softer sweetness coming from fruit near the end. Medium-bodied; Strong nutty and earthy flavours show the malt at first with a strong grassy and herbal character and a lot of alcohol and resin make this even stronger flavoured. Aftertaste shows some resin, light fruity sugars, a heavy hand of malt and grain, but the strongest flavours are the astringent hops that show nutty and very earthy flavours and a punch from alcohol and some specialty grains. Overall, a decent Imperial IPA at best - this is a bit too strong in the Chinook department and while I'm not a fan of the hops, the rest of the beer was underwhelming in terms of complexity and balance. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 16-March-2019 for US$1,99 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 18-May-2019 in Pungoteague, Virginia.

Draft taproom. Pours golden with a good sized white head. Candied aroma, light sourness. Flavor is tangy citrus, minor funk, somewhat strange. But not bad. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft at Tin Cannon’s second anniversary part. Poured a clear golden yellow orange color with a small off-white head. Floral citrus notes. Solid light juicy notes. Decent bitterness that was quite nice.

Sampled at the brewery pours a clear dark gold with a ring of white head. Nose has some orange and resin, but a lot of nectarine, peach and candy. Flavor follows, sweet with honey and candy, soap, mild pith, unripened stone fruit, white pepper. Full and slightly hot. Maybe some Nugget or something to cut the fruitiness.
