Heavy Seas Announces New Seasonal TropiCannon & New Year-Round Pounder Pils

From Heavy Seas:

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

BALTIMORE, MD --- Heavy Seas Beer is pleased to announce the release of a

new year-round beer in 2016, Pounder Pils. This German-style Pilsner lager will

be available starting in April 2016, in all 17 states where Heavy Seas Beer is

distributed.

Made with Czech malts and a plethora of European hops, Pounder Pils is

an American interpretation of the classic European Style. Exhibiting a crisp malt

backbone and an herbaceous hop profile, the beer is refreshing yet still complex.

“I have been looking forward to making this beer for a long time,” said

Brewmaster Chris Leonard. “True Pilsner is a challenging style – the flavor profile

has to be perfectly balanced.  There is very little to hide behind.”

The specs for the new product are:

Style: Pilsner

IBU: 35 to 40

Malts: Pale, Czech Pilsen

Hops: Hallertau Mittlefrue, Saaz, Opal

“The cannon balls on a sailing ship during the age of sail were named for their

weight,” said Heavy Seas Founder, Hugh Sisson.  “A common size weighed 6

pounds, and would be called a ‘6 pounder’, so we thought it entirely appropriate

to make that the name of our new 5% Pilsner  – which is, after all, a very

‘poundable’ style of beer!”
