Heavy Seas Announces New Seasonal Beer: TropiCannon

BALTIMORE, MD — Heavy Seas Beer is excited to announce the release of a new seasonal beer this Spring, a “citrus IPA” named TropiCannon. The product will be available from April thru June in all 17 states where Heavy Seas beer is distributed.

A variation on the brewery’s flagship beer, Loose Cannon IPA, the new citrus IPA showcases explosive tropical fruit aromas and flavors. TropiCannon clocks in at the same 7.25% ABV as its cousin, but has a modified hop profile, and is augmented with blood orange, grapefruit, mango and lemon flavors. “We’ve introduced grapefruit, orange, and lemon peel in the brewing process and added mango, blood orange, and more grapefruit post-fermentation,” said Heavy Seas Founder, Hugh Sisson. “Fruit nuanced IPAs are gaining popularity these days and we are excited to add this new beer to our portfolio.”

            The specs on the new product are:

 Style: Citrus IPA

ABV: 7.25%

IBU: 45

Malts: Pale, Munich, Caramalt

Hops: Warrior, Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra

“It’s always exciting watching our brewers develop a new product,” said Sisson. “It’s one of the most creative and fun parts of the business.”
