Clipper City Brewing Co. Loose Cannon Hop^3 Ale


I expected this beer to be similar to an IPA, given its obviously heavy hop content, and in many ways it is. It has a slightly cloudy, golden-amber color, small head, and fair amount of carbonation. The aroma is bold and hoppy with traces of what I would call mango. This beer initially feels like an IPA with its bitter hop flavors, but as it settles in the mouth has more of a spicy punch and is slightly less smooth than many IPA's. It's very flavorful and strong - exactly how I like it. I give this one a thumbs up.
