A decidedly light hearted take on a European classic. An extra pale body and subtle bitterness set the tone letting the speciality Belgian yeast shine, while Curacao Orange and Coriander add fruity, spicy notes. True to form we decided to clown around with sack loads of our favourite US hops in the hop back and in cold conditioning. The result is a beer to lift the spirits and make you smile, not one for the purists maybe but whoever took a Clown seriously?

On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger, Golden colour, moderate white head. Lovely aroma of citrus and tropical fruits, some spicy notes too. The well balanced flavour has notes of citrussy and resinous hops throughout, but is not too bitter. Also spicy notes (coriander). An excellent fusion between witbier and IPA, dangerously drinkable.

Pours pale amber/orange with a large head.
Nose shows overt peppery, herbal and spicy hops along with strong orange peel notes. Some doughy wheat underneath works well as a base.
Flavours include some light malt sweetness before orange peel and herbal, spicy hops come rolling through by the truckload, leading to an assertively bitter finish.

A clouded brass colored brew, a small white head, goos lacing and good curtains.
Smelling chemical, fruit esters, soap, some lemon soda.
Staring with sweet white bread, then spices and fruits, like a bubblegum with coriander.
Little carbonation, a soft and slightly sticky texture, a medium body and smooth finish.
Very hard to capture, could be ok instead of rosé or cider. But not really my kind of beer. Could be juice for clowns.
