The 7th beer in the Clown Shoes "12 Beers of Christmas" for us to Duo. Medium sized head that is distinctly amber colored. Aroma is like an IPA, very hoppy. Texture starts crisp but quickly turns very soft and mellow. Has a very gentle easygoing feel that is probably the result of low effervescence. The flavor starts with a hoppy citrus bitterness. Definitely thought I was drinking an IPA. But as the middle arrives a nice malty amber becomes predominant. Continues through the finish with mild bitterness in the background. Late in the finish, the Amber recedes leaving only the lingering dry hops.
