Heavy Seas TropiCannon Citrus IPA American IPA at 7.25% ABV | 45 IBU (US$2.49 at Knightly Spirits Orange Blossom Trail, 355 ml, best before 24-Jun-2017, acquired 15-May-2017, reviewed 20-May-2017)
Appearance: clear deep gold with one finger of off-white creamy head, excellent retention and patchy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: sweet juicy oranges, pineapple, pale malt, pine, floral. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, light tart. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry moderate bitter and slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
No exaggeration, you could have this for breakfast. Loads of juicy citrus up front, yet the sweetness doesn’t come across as cloying. There’s an emphasis on citrus up front, but hints of pine and floral in the finish, accompanied by an almost oily citrus peel astringency. Good stuff! (15/20)
