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.

OK, I'm a sucker for packaging. Picked up this promising looking 6 pack from East Gate Liquors on the way home tonight.
Poured a clear copper with a light tab head, pretty foamy and about 1/2 an inch thick. Diminished fairly quickly with decent lacing.
Nice hops aroma they definitely didn't skimp on the dry hopping! A little piney and i think i got some grapefruit in there as well.
initial taste is smoother than I expected, a little buttery and doughy. The hops hit me during the swallow and left a nice lingering bitterness in the mouth. Solid beer, easy to drink even at 7.5%, won't be the last 6-pack I buy.

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