Clown Shoes Miracle India Pale Ale, Mercury Brewing Company, Ipswich, MA. Alc 5.5% by Volume.
Lightly hazed, golden/tangerine appearance. Lacey, off-whitish foam above. Looks good.
Aroma: dank and pithy, loaded with pine and fruit, citrus and tropical. Nice and hoppy.
Taste: Big bitter blitz up front, soft and easy thereafter. Grapefruit and mango dance on the palate decked out in leafy costumery. Persistently pleasurable, with unrelenting bitterness, plenty of mmmmm.
Here's what the label tells us: "Our boy Miracle Mike represents what we hope to do with our Minor Miracle Fund. A percentage of the profits from this juicy sessional IPA will be used to help real people (and maybe a puppy or two)."
Okay, sounds cool, but I'll drink it because it tastes good.
