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.…

Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a hazy light orange with a finger of white head. Aroma is fruity and spicy with belgian yeast. Taste is medium bitter. Pine and citrus with spicy belgian yeast. Just a hint of banana on the finish. Full bodied with a thick texture. Lively carbonation and a very long finish. Overall, very good. I’ve yet to have a beer from Pipeworks that has not been awesome.

Very hazy amber beer with a big off white head. Palate is light and airy. Sweetish malt base with a trace of caramel. The hops are light but flavoursome. Sweet pine with a mild citrus. Finishes light with mellow bitterness. Light and drinkable.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. very perfumy hop aroma - coconut - fresh though. Medium body, good sweet fruitiness and then again these rather perfumy aroma hops. Fortunately the Belgian yeast is completely buried. 060413

Bottle @ fonefan tasting. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are yeast, hops, spices, vegetables, malt, flowers and fruits. A little odd.

Bottle @ Dan’s house, courtesy of arminjewell. Thanks! Pours a bit hazy orange appearance with an off white head. Kind of soapy, floral, a touch spicy, light citrusy aroma. Somewhat bitter, weirdly spicy, mango, light pineapple, soapy hoppy flavor. Not bad.
