Clipper City Loose Cannon


















































Clipper City Brewery
Clipper City Loose Cannon
Baltimore, Maryland
9/16/2009, on tap at Frisco Grille, 7.25 abv

Smell

Nice hoppy aroma with some grapefruit and pine.

Appearance

Bright golden orange with a smallish white head.

Taste

A well balanced combination of malty sweetness, grapefruit twang and nice piney, bitter hoppiness. The grapefruity citrus taste was very pronounced and the hoppy aftertaste was not overly bitter.

Comments

Loose Cannon is very good IPA. I found it to be juicy. I know, that sounds weird, but it was juicy.

  1. Loose Cannon is a great IPA. Being a craft brewery Clipper city brews are not always the same in consistency. Some batches are so perfect that it's insane. I'd say 2 out of 5 are close to perfect. This beer is best out of the keg or cask.

  2. This beer is awesome on tap. But I've bought a few six packs and both have been different and somewhat disappointing, so I agree it seems to be inconsistent.
