Heavy Seas: Loose Cannon IPA

Heavy Seas Brewery is the mainstay of Maryland beers. It's what Devil's backbone is for Virginia: on tap everywhere you can find one. Begun out of Baltimore in 2003 by brewmaster Hugh Sisson, the brewery has grown into THE craft beer giant in MD.

Taste: The hops are all here: The Hop^3 name comes from x3 fermentations. It has a malt aftertaste that balances out the early hoppiness, and is one of the creamier IPAs. Always a solid choice at the bar.

Verdict: 3.75/5
