Clementine White Ale

6.0% Witbier

Clementine is Clown Shoes Beer's Belgian style White Ale. Light-bodied and crisp, this is a terrific White Ale with plenty of zest! Hazy in appearance and healthily carbonated, it utilizes Chambly yeast to energetically shape its wheat malt base. Incorporated in the brewing process is Clementine, sweet orange peel, a hint of Coriander, and Summit hops. At a sly, easy-drinking 5.9%, Clementine is dynamic and flavorful enough to satisfy discerning craft beer palates, yet light enough to count among "sessionable" beers. Poured high into a pint or traditional pilsner style glass, drinkers can sip away lazy summer afternoons. As for food pairings, it is the perfect compliment to a range of salads and seafoods or light cheeses such as Feta, Monterey and Gruyere.

Had this beer a year ago in Texas with my son-in-law. Having it again today on Duo with him. Did not care for it much last time but I'll try again. Extremely high head, had to let it recede before pouring the rest into the glass. Slightly hazy yellow color. Aroma of cloves. Flavor brings the expected cloves and citrus notes. With the cloves dominating, the citrus is close to tangerine. From my last review I was expecting an exceedingly high level of bitterness. It simply isn't there. Bitterness level is extremely low, which was one of my major complaints about it. As it moves into the finish, there is no change in flavor or bitterness from the first. Don't understand why my first experience is so drastically different from this one. This is not my favorite ale, but it is very drinkable. I am going to raise my rating based on today's experience.
