Beer Review: Eagle Claw Fist by Clown Shoes

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!
