Dubbel Cannon


Heavy Seas Brewing

Dubbel Cannon Belgium Style IPA - 7.25% ABV

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.0

"A variation of our Loose Cannon IPA fermented with a Belgian Dubbel yeast. Tangy hops and a spicy aroma."

This is yet another wonderful brew from Heavy Seas brewing. The Dubbel Cannon pours to a deep amber/copper color with a thick and smooth head to it. It has a sweet malty, clove and cinnamon up front flavor that finishes with an earthy and citrusy overtone. Very unusual for an IPA I think but quite likable. The flavor makes me think of a delicious blend of light licorice over malty sweet toffee almost. Again, not a typical IPA but a very welcomed change of pace, and also very refreshing and well balanced.
