Clown Shoes Josh the Guava King Double IPA with Guava

Clown Shoes Josh the Guava King Double IPA with Guava. 8% ABV. Clown Shoes Beer Ipswich, MA.

Clear, bright golden/amber color, slim white head.

In the nose: Bold and assertive hop presence, firing off all manner of fruit and sweetness, tropical fruit tones, blended with citrus. Mighty potent stuff.

In the mouth: Candied fruit to start, thick and sticky. Dank. Big bitterness. Bitter and fruity at once. Medium bodied, fiercely flavored, rich and delicious. I like it. Good guava double IPA and you can drink it.

I don't know who Josh Baggett is, though, and they seem to suggest that I should. Well, cheers to him and his baby unicorns.

This label, which depicts Josh Baggett shredding a guitar in outer space as he pedals a pink training-wheeled bicycle while baby unicorns are born in his wake and the monkey on his back juggles guavas and his crown, fairly represents Josh's rigorous path promoting craft beer to TX. Josh, we love you man! Brewed with fresh guava puree, with Mosaic hops.
