Pipeworks Glaucus Belgian-style India Pale Ale. Hopped with Mandarina. 6.2% ABV. Pipeworks Brewing Co., Chicago, IL.Highly hazed, bright golden hue, large and lacey ivory head.
In the nose: Belgian funk kicks it off, all bubblegum and this side of the barnyard. Hop-forward fruitiness lurks below. I can dig it.
In the mouth: Funky fresh. Bright and citrusy. Nicely hopped. Medium bodied, thirst quenching and utterly drinkable. Slightly spicy, and beautifully hoppy. Not my favorite of the style, but still a good Belgian IPA and you can drink it.
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.
