COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cannonball is an India Pale Ale in the true tradition, high in alcohol and massively hopped to survive a long sea voyage. We don’ t want you to wait though, crack the cap and let the flavour explode on your palate. Tropically fruity, resinous hops compete against a sweet malty backbone, while a rasping bitterness builds to a mouth puckering crescendo. Our hop bomb might just blow you away…

mcberko (4056) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 1, 2013
On tap at Oliver Twist, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of resinous hops, some juicy fruitiness in the way if tropical fruits, and a big caramel malt backing. Very flavourful on the tongue, with loads of piney, dry coniferous hops, wood, and just enough dry crackery malts to back. Very piney and woody, with a wonderfully dry palate - my type of IPA. Highly drinkable and very refreshing. Excellent stuff.

javiercrasher (79) - Granada, SPAIN - APR 26, 2013
Color ambar, mate. Con una densa espuma que se mantiene. Aroma a frutas tropicales y en menor medida cítricas. Buen cuerpo, oleosa y con un carbonatación media. En boca destaca la presencia del lúpulo, amarga y con final seco. Bien disimulado el alcohol aunque esta presente. Para mi esto es ya una imperial IPA. Etiqueta muy chula, aunque como siempre se echa en falta que especifiquen los lúpulos usados. botella @ Zombier. 4,50 €.

Bottle. Golden and clear with a small head. Medium body with hops dominating. Slightly bitter and an excellent example of this style.Definitely a must try.
