When you need your hop fix, but don't need the 7.0% ABV. Just because it's lower in alcohol doesn't mean we skimped on the hops. Finished and dry hopped with just as much hops as our IPA, for when you need a little "Therapy Session" after a hard day's work.

Player:
Loose Cannon

Team:
Heavy Seas Beer

Baltimore, MD

Player Stats:
Our flagship beer, Loose Cannon wins people over at first smell. The carefully cultivated interplay of Simcoe, Palisade, and Centennial creates a most fragrant IPA—its nose bursts with notes of grapefruit, herbs, and pine. Bitterness is somewhat subdued by the floral quality that pervades the taste. The color is burnished gold, and the mouthfeel is creamy. A strong malt backbone balances out the triple-hopped beer. Its nickname, Hop3, comes from the brewing process: our brewers hop Loose Cannon in the boil, the hopback, and the fermenter.

Player:
Sculpin

Team:
Ballast Point Brewing and Spirits

San Diego, CA

Player Stats:
A trophy beer that‚ Äôs a testament to our homebrew roots. Our Sculpin IPA is a great example of what got us into brewing in the first place. After years of experimenting, we knew hopping an ale at five separate stages would produce something special. The result ended up being this gold-medal winning IPA, whose inspired use of hops creates hints of apricot, peach, mango and lemon flavors, but still packs a bit of a sting, just like a Sculpin fish.

Saranac Legacy IPA

Team:
FX Matt Brewing

Utica, NY

Player Stats:
When our founder began brewing back in 1888 a few things were different, like the significantly lighter grains he used for his first IPA (we agree-he sure was ahead of his time brewing IPAs back then). The lighter grains resulted in a noticeably lighter color in the beer, which also allowed the crisp, clean hop flavor to shine through. We've re-crafted his original creation, staying true to his technique, but we've modernized the recipe with the most innovative hops available today. We're proud to share 125 years of brewing expertise with you: our Legacy IPA.

Our Big Eye IPA is a big hoppy brew, thanks to the abundance of American Columbus and Centennial varieties we use to flavor and dry hop.
