Formerly Loose Cannon - American Hop3 Ale

Burnished gold with a rich citrus hop aroma, it is wonderfully drinkable with a big hop flavor. We’ve knicknamed it Hop3 (hop cubed) ale to reflect the enormous amount of hops in this beer: over 3 pounds per barrel! It is hopped 3 ways: in the kettle, in the hop back, and dry hopped.

Poured from a bottle into pint glass, it pours a really light orange copper color. It has a small white head that goes away rather quickly but does leave some lacing down the glass. The smell is pretty good, hops, grapefruit, some citrus. Overall not bad, a pretty above average smell for an IPA. Taste isn't nearly as hoppy as I was expecting. Grapefruit and citrusy. Kind of different compared to some other IPAs, but it's not bad. It's not bitter at all, it's rather sweet. Pretty easy to drink, I enjoy it and would probably pick it up again.

12 ounce bottles into a can glass.
A Maryland go-to malty IPA. It’s a good drinkable choice every time!
