Clown Shoes Galacticake Double India Pale Ale


Clown Shoes Galacticake Double India Pale Ale.

9% ABV. Clown Shoes Beer, Boston, MA. 

Largely opaque, clouded, bold orange hued, with an ample, creamy froth atop. 

In the nose: Dank and resiny. Popping with hops. Rich and sticky-icky. We're in for the good stuff. 

In the mouth: Big, bright, bold. Screaming with hop bitterness, chockablock with it. Pummeling the palate, bombing the senses, aswim in deliciousness. Alcohol arrives quickly and starts it's assault. Just a little bit hot, but plump with tasty hop goodness. Yum and a dum, dum. 

Galactica grabbed Miracle Mike's dog, Bionic, and decided to join the battle against the Cupcake Spaceships. Why? Even we don't know... We do know that a happy accident led to the creation of this beer. A batch of Space Cake dry hopped with Galactica hops. 

There's a much larger telling of the tale on the label, but I'm not going to type it all out. Or maybe it's on their website? I'll go check. 

Ingredients: Galaxy and Mosaic Hops

Galactica has infiltrated the base of the Space Cake fleet. Havoc shall be wreaked, but will justice prevail? Featuring a base brew of Space Cake dry hopped per Galactica specs, Galacticake combines Clown Shoes’ signature Double IPAs to make for a bevy of tropical citrus aromas and flavor. A balanced body showcases notes of both pine and citrus.

Well, that's a slightly different retelling, but it's not the same thing as what's on the can. Sorry, folks, I'm going to stick to what I can cut and paste.
