This isn’t the first pint of paradise we have partaken in. We found Paradise Lost and sampled Newfoundland’s provincial bird,* the Space Puffin straight out of Paradise NL. This Clifford pint of paradise is artificial, and that’s official, but not superficial. We aren’t talking artificial intelligence either, any intelligence you may run into on this website is questionable and rare, but real. **
As far a Clifford goes, the big ol’ brewer not the big red dog, we have enjoyed a few of their brews in the past. Their Nitro Porter was to live for,*** and although Johnny doesn’t love Amber anymore,**** I still do. And Clifford’s Chain Link was an Amber worthy of my love. Time to throw down a paradise, because that’s how I roll.
It shouldn’t be surprising that a paradise pour is practically perfect. A solid gold sunset over the beach hue with a bright white Bahama beach foam washing ashore head. It has a juicy fruit aroma, it’s definitely a juicer. But with a 60 IBU I expected some bitters too. I was correct on both counts.
Punchy says “How about a nice tropical fruit punch?”
Citrus tropical juicy sweet with grapefruit tang and bitters for a one two Punchy fruit punch. The tasty big time juicy juicer combines well with the hoppy grapefruit bitters for a nice balance. The big swig test brings the grapefruit bitters out to play, and it’s all good. Nothing artificial about this tasty IPA. It may not be real paradise, bit it’s as close as I’m getting tonight.*****
*Editor’s Comment: The Atlantic Puffin is the official provincial bird of Newfoundland. About 95% of all North America’s puffins breed around the Newfoundland and Labrador coasts. The largest puffin colony in the western Atlantic (225,000 pairs) can be found at the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, 32km south of St. John’s.

***Editor’s Comment. This is the ninth Clifford brew reviewed on COMDB. Their Nitro Porter scored the ever elusive 18 out of 20 super suds rating.
****Editor’s Comment: Johnny Depp and Amber Heard met in 2009 while filming “The Rum Diaries” based on the book by Hunter Thompson. They began a relationship in 2012 and were married in February 2015. Heard filed for divorce in May 2016 and obtained a restraining order against Depp. A number of trails followed based on Heard’s claim that she was abused by Depp. Depp lost his defamation suit against The Sun tabloid which described him as a wife beater. The last suits and counter suits were in the US based on defamation claims and counter claims and were settled in 2022 when the judge awarded Depp $10.3 Million and awarded Heard $2 Million. Perhaps the judge was a “Pirates of the Caribbean” fan?
*****Editor’s Comment: That’s what she said.
