Eagle Claw Fist was a part of our core lineup in the early days as a punchy Imperial Amber Ale. It was one of our favorites and we’ve missed it ever since it was retired.
We finally found an excuse (our 10th Anniversary!) to dust off the recipe and update it for 2019 with a more expressive, modern hop bill that balances strong malt flavors with notes of citrus, pine, and a touch of resin. Pick up a 4-pack and start brushing up on your Clown Shoes Kung Fu.

75cl bottle @ The 2nd Shrewsbury Bottle Share, courtesy of Paulo. Very hoppy from the off with a eager bitterness squeezing the life out of those tropical hops. Its tongue numbing dryness gets a bit much though and I would’ve welcomed a bit more fruitiness. Still, a good introduction to this brewer for me.

Final beer of the second Shrewsbury Bottle Share on 24th Feb 2014: cheers Paulo for bringing this brew along for the four of us the split. A red hue to this amber bodied beer, on top a well tanned crown. Intense floral hop nose with citrus notes in the background vying for attention with some semi-sweet molasses. The hops carry on into the taste, again with a citrus undertone to the bitter, dry front: the malts creeping into the taste later and giving a mini balance to the otherwise prevailing hop content. A good beer to finish on, tests your taste buds and leaves you wanting more: a very interesting brew, hides it’s alcohol well within the flavours.

Bottle. 22oz. A dense, off-white head forms over an unclear, amber colored body. The aroma has a lovely maltyness blending with the citrusy, piney hops. Caramel hints. It’s quite bitter in the flavor, with caramel maltyness and resins and pine cones. Full body and a pleasant carbonation level. Lasting finish with a lot of bitterness. Overall, a really nice one, although a bit one dimensional bitter. Yeah I know it’s malty too, but still. 131231

Sampled from bottle @ monthly De Molen tasting. Nice reddish color, medium sized beige head that leaves fair to good lacing. Aroma has malts, lightly hops, lightly sweetness. Taste malts, hops, tea, bitter. Dislike the tea flavors in there. Decent body, medium carbonation.

22 ounce bottle. Pours a cloudy copper color with a large bubbly beige head. Big toasted malt nose with notes of burnt sugar and alcohol. Lots of toasted malt and bitter hops. Hints of burnt caramel, resiny hops and overdone microwave popcorn. There area lot of flavors going on here. A bit disjointed.
