Taste is bitter sweet up front with a fruity, but also light caramel sweetness coming through. The bitterness lingers, but the caramel maltiness grows through the finish. I'm unsure if my taste buds are becoming less sensitive to hops, or if this is just a surprisingly balanced IPA. One might call this a bit syrupy. PUNK IPA – The best-selling craft beer in the UK. This 5.4% IPA is a light, golden classic that has been subverted with new world hops to create an explosion of flavour. LOST LAGER – BrewDog’s new recipe Lost is here. This planet first German-style Pilsner is a 4.5% lager brewed using wind power, a third less water, and would-be waste bread in the malt bill While it might not be ideal for high-alcohol IPAs, reviewers have attested it’s a solid option if you’re looking for a go-to pint glass.

If you’re a fan of IPAs, you probably know that the right glass can make a beer taste better. The best IPA glasses do just that, and they typically feature a tapered lip to capture the aroma and maximize the flavor. Serious fans of the hop-forward beverage will want to opt for glasses made specially for IPAs — but if you just dabble in IPAs or want a glass that’d also work for other beers, there are versatile options that can serve you well. One reviewer wrote: “I love them, mostly use them with Pales, IPA’s, and DIPA’s. The Fluting brings the nose right to you while keeping the drinking easy and clean. The nucleation from the etched bottom is perfect, better than any brewery pint or tulip I’ve gotten with etching. Highly recommend for Pales, IPA’s and DIPA’s. Been good for the Gose’s, Sour’s and Farmhouse’s I’ve had in it as well.” One reviewer wrote: “A nice all-around vessel that enhanced the flavor and depth of a couple different styles of IPAs I poured. Was looking for something thin (closer to wine crystal), and this indeed is thinner than bar-variety glassware. But it's not so delicate that it’ll shatter from regular, reasonable washing technique.” The north-east brewing giant started life in Fraserburgh and has built itself up to be one of Scotland’s biggest food and drink success stories. If you enjoy drinking beers other than IPAs, you might prefer a versatile Teku, tulip-shaped, or imperial pint glass. The Teku glass is a unique one-size-fits-most option for a variety of beers, including IPAs. Tulip glasses are commonly used for double IPAs and other beers with high alcohol content as well as Belgian beers, while imperial pint glasses are a solid option for standard IPAs and the vast majority of other beers.Aroma is bright, suggesting acidity, followed by an orange rhindy pine aroma. Very bright resinous and fruity, but not tropical. Definitely WC.

An IPA glass is a specific type of barware, designed specially to enhance an IPA’s flavor. A top-of-the-line option will feature a tapered bowl to enhance the aroma of the beer, along with nucleation points and a ridged base. Nucleation points are small etchings at the bottom of the glass — these etchings, along with the ridged base, help to aerate the beer while you sip.
