Belgian Style IPA

Glaucus is the mythological existence of a being, both man and fish, a deity amongst mere mortals. The only beer fitting of such a name marries bold and spicy Belgian yeasy with bright citric American hops in a way even the gods would adore. Savor this golden beverage that can calm even the harshest seas.

Pour is a hazy IPA lookalike with a large white head. Aroma is all lemondrop hops. Flavor is more lemon hops with accompanying bitterness. As a hazy IPA this was fine but I did not get anything "Belgain" from this beer. Still tasty and worth a try just don't expect Houblon Chouffe.

Canned. Cloudy yellow pour, some yeasty funk, and dank citrus. Pretty nice overall.

Brilliant white tight fluffy head stayed on a slowly carbonating hazy dark lemon coloured body. Bitter pith, zest, grapefruit & hops aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the front with a thinner soft back. Pith, lemon, citrus, hops, grass & bitter citrus with a slightly soapy finish & long tangy aft. No Belgian yeast tastes unfortunately.
