This weeks Brew of the Week is especially divine - It is Heavy Seas - Loose Canon by the CLipper City Brewery. I was out this past weekend at a great little establishment in Newport, Rhode Island, Pour Judgment, and was lucky enough to find that they had this hop-filled, fruity grog on tap.My Rating - 90
Alcohol Content - 7.25%
This is quite possibly one of the best IPA's that has yet graced my lips. In this beer, Clipper City Brewery manages to create a near perfect yin and yang between two qualities which often fight to overtake one another in a beer - refreshing crispness and delirious sweetness. Loose Canon is definitely hoppy, but also features delicate overtones of citrus and floral that make the scent and taste incredibly pleasant. This beer sips easily, perhaps a little too easily, and makes a delicious evening of drinking.
A six pack of this tasty ale will run around $10 and is well worth the every single penny if you are looking to taste a crisp, hoppy beer that also satisfies your sweet tooth. Cheers!
