Beer Review: Eagle Claw Fist by Clown Shoes
Posted by SmallTimeDrinker in Beer Reviews on April 26, 2011 10:45 am / 1 comment
Eagle Claw Fist named after an apparent junior high style Kung Fu move is one of the seven beers in the Clown Shoes lineup. The nice thing about a brewery with a smaller lineup is that they really work on perfecting their recipes and making a consistent product. Eagle Claw Fist is a beer you can definitely tell they have been working on. Close to perfect-I hope they finish the job.
Tasting Notes:
Poured a dark red with a decent head, Eagle Claw Fist left nice lacing down the side of my glass. Aromas of citrus hops, but with a sweetness. There was an inviting aroma. Very bitter upfront the beer seemed to lack a malt backbone I was looking for. A little more balance would have made this a perfect Imperial Amber Ale in my book.

I can totally see how that crpeey clown scared you. I hate them too. The picture looks like it was taken from pretty far away though, so maybe Mr. Man is a little frightened as well!
