Clown Shoes Tramp Stamp Belgian-style IPA

Clown Shoes Tramp Stamp Belgian-style IPA,

Appearance: amber color, nice white head, looks lovely, it does.

Aroma: Belgian yeast funk in effect, y'all, oh, yeah. And there's some American hops lurking below. Very flavorful, very wonderful.

Taste: More of that special flavorful funk, with the hops riding behind it. Plenty of fruit going on, apricot, peach, etcetera, some orange, some lemon. But mostly stone fruit varieties. And then comes the funk, and the malt, and the mmm, something' else.

Let's take a look at that bottle: "Like a stamp on a tramp, this brew is about not so sublet seduction. Soft but complex malt, Chambly yeast, Amarillo and Centennial hops have merged to create a bodacious Belgian-style IPA." 7% ABV. Ale brewed with natural flavor."

The short and the skinny for me: This fits the style, and it's irresistible. Delivers everything it should. We get the fruit, the funk,  a little bit of bitter, and a lot of yum. A nice mix of everything, but plenty of that special Belgian flavor. Mmm, mmm.
