National IPA Day

To commemorate National IPA Day, I'm downing some of the new Heavy Seas Dubbel Cannon. It's a play on their Loose Cannon recipe with the use of a Belgian yeast. Color is a bit more brown than the usual character. The aroma and taste are worlds apart. The yeast nose whafts to you while the taste is a complex of banana and clove up front followed by the pepper of the Warrior, Simcoe, Amarillo, Palisade, Cascade, Centennial hops used to make it. There is a nice dicotomy to it all. 7.25%abv (never seen an abv with a hundredth place) . The labels on these beers own me, you never know what the parrot will be doing or saying.
