Beer: Heavy Seas Loose Cannon Hop3 AleBrewer: Clipper City
Style: Double IPA
Tasting notes: (3) Aromatic hops dominates the palate. Very low bitterness given the hop load. Went great w/ spicy tortillo soup. (2) More hops and less sweet than I remembered. A nice bitter hop bite. (1) I would describe the beer as an IPA with a touch of sweet and was surprised to see it classified as a DIPA. Hops were present and nice but not overbearing. Maybe I'm becoming immune to them.
Comments: Hop3 Ale uses over 3 pounds of hops per barrel and is hopped 3 ways - in the kettle, in the hop back, and dry hopped. Heavy Seas is the line of BIG beers from Clipper City, many of which are seasonal. Clipper City is located in Baltimore, MD.
Rating: Recommended without qualifications
