Spiegelau Beer Classics 19 Ounce IPA Glass

[Peter Smith]

OK I was cynical, a naysayer BUT I am now a believer.

EVEN my beer tastes better in these....   

THEY ARE GOOD

[Paul Finney]

They are good Peter. I got some in August and it makes my IPA still smell great even after 8 weeks in the bottle :)

A must have Christmas present for those who don't have them, or who have broken one!!

[Peter Smith]

yeah they are very light construction   i wouldn't let them near kids or dishwasher.

They pop the hops and somehow make the beer taste more mellow???

maybe the head?

Hard pressed to go past the 1.3 litre stiens in my house mate, open top of the glass as big as a dinner plate.  No idea what they do to the smell of the beer but they sure feel good to use!

[Paul Finney]

The IPA glass is specifically made to focus aroma to the nose. So hoppy beers smell even hoppier, roasted beers are incredible too. A side by side test confirms their awesomeness when it comes to hop aroma!

 

The glasses are dishwasher proof too, that is how I clean mine as otherwise it is tricky to get right to the bottom. They are made for restaurant use so they can handle many dishwasher washes.

I did the tasting at the Lumsden with shed loads of Armageddon in 5 different spiegelau glasses, that converted me pretty quicky. Interesting when we tried the epicurean coffee fig stout in the IPA glass, it tasted terrible, really bitter and sharp. Since then Hopscotch has sold several hundred, pretty big buzz around for a glass.

[Paul Finney]

Yeah, I sold out my first order the day we got them. I then presold half of the order I have just got in!

 

Got to love how the beer looks in the glass too.

[Jamie McQuillan]

Yep, a big fan. They can bring out things that are quite unexpected. A good way to put your own beer to the test. Even better, my local has them.
