BALTIMORE, MD — Heavy Seas Beer is pleased to announce the release of another new seasonal beer in 2015, Double Cannon. This seasonal release will be available from April – June in all 18 states where Heavy Seas beer is distributed.
Hop aromas blast out of this flavor explosion. Massively dry-hopped, but with a balanced malt sweetness, this irresistible force showcases the power of bringing in the extra artillery. Hop cubed…then squared, Double Cannon is hopped to the sixth! We’ve kept the same malt recipe proportions as Loose Cannon and employed the late addition-, whirlpool-, hopback-, and dry-hopping processes that make Loose Cannon such a flavorful IPA. We’ve captured the beautiful balance of Loose Cannon, but doubled the firepower.
According to Brewmaster, Chris Leonard, “Double Cannon needs little explanation. I shall oblige, however. Loose Cannon is easily our most identifiable product and our best seller, but IPA fans want more. We’ve already achieved multiple-pint hop heaven with our Session IPA, Crossbones. Now we’re hitting you with the second half of our one-two punch by bringing in the big guns with Double Cannon. This beer will satisfy the most discriminating of hopheads. The malt recipe/profile is identical in balance to Loose Cannon, albeit with a starting gravity of 22.0 Plato (Loose Cannon is 16.5)! We’re talking about 9.5% alcohol. Loose Cannon is 45 IBU’s and Double Cannon will be 90! We are targeting an April 1 release, and it should be an incredible addition to our lineup.”
