Clown Shoes Space Cake #7 IPA

Clown Shoes Space Cake #7 India Pale Ale. 7.77% Alc./Vol. Brewed and canned by Clown Shoes Beer, Ipswich, MA. "Our mission: To produce Beer without Pretension while Being Free and Little Crazy."

To the eye: highly hazed, bright golden/amber-hued, nice, lasting pure white head atop. Looking great.

In the nose: there's the pine and the pulp, the juicy tropical fruit and the pithy citrus. Everything you want in an IPA, and then some. Orange and grapefruit, and tangerine. And we can dig it.

In the mouth: Ah! Right on! Just enough delicious hoppy goodness, all over the palate. Sharp, strong, dry, bitter, and, yeah, delicious. Just the way I love it. Nice. So nice I'll bring out my favorite catchphrase that never caught. Are you ready? Here it comes: Yum, a dum, dum!

I love it! You should try it! Seriously. Do it. Spread it around. And give me credit. Yum A Dum Dum. TM. And C.

Tasked with bringing cake to our 7th anniversary party, Miracle Mike needed to destroy the laser beam shooting pastries that menace him.  He appears to have “borrowed” the birthday surprise from a young wizard that did not die.  Dry hopped with seven hops (Idaho 7, Mosaic, Citra, Ella, Galaxy, Centennial, and Nelson Sauvin), this IPA salutes the industry and our customers.  Thank you for a wonderful seven years!
