An IPA out of one of those versus a standard schooner/pint glass is a completely different taste experience. Meh, it doesn't matter how much she spent, it matters that she got the right thing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When basic needs like food or drinks are attractively presented then your brain tricks you into believing it tastes better than it would be if presented in a more banal way. Isn't nature wonderful?

Paul84 Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 I dunno mate . Have you ever had a bad casserole lol, hardly elegant in design. I do think all the senses work in unison, and some of the style of glasses do lend them to each other. It is even more apparent in whisky . The nose between a Tumbler and a Glencairn is vast. And i do think the IPA glasses work in a similar fashion if compared to a pint glass. Just concentrates the aromas and the way it drinks helps the mouthfeel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IPA glass works something like a brandy balloon and allows you to pour a big frothy head to release the aromas into the airspace between the liquid and rim. When you stick your nose in that space as you take a sip you get those aromas delivered right up your snout. Up to 80% of what we know as taste is actually smell.

I believe if there was no difference the beer would taste the same out of a plastic mug, or those “things” they serve beer in at the footy or outdoor events. Both of which the beer tastes crap and the head lasts about 2 minutes. An English Bitter in my normal pint glass is great but out of a dimple mug, just exceptional. Yet a lager out of a dimple mug is no Match to the Stella “balloon” type glass. Sorry no false senses working here. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Thought I best do my new favourite Brewprint the Revolution Dark Lager justice with a Lager Glass. No noticeable effect on the taste but it looks nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it’s the beer, the new solid primer bricks or the glass. Either way I love the beer and will brew this one regularly. Unfortunately as usual the wife likes it too ... It even makes watching your Crows do a number on the Cats more enjoyable. 🤭 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Think I've had my eye on this one for a while. Just love Budvar beer. Filled it with my Aussie Premium lager, would have gone a Czech lager first up but I didn't think it'd turn up so quickly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Went to a different town to work today...bought a chunky steak pie for hungover Rob whilst I was there but I found this glass whilst I was having a look around. It is actually quite heavy, with some thick glass walls. Thought it'd be perfect for pale ale/pacific ale brews...and I reckon I'm right. HeadMaster glass for reference 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Pretty Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 Spiegelau glasses are the best. My favorite is the torpedo for Pales and IPA's. Nice score @Dustin Frothman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
