Glow Cloud
Gigantic Brewing Company

This beer pours a dirty brown color, not very appetizing, with a large tan head that stays for a while with some lacing. A little sweetness in taste with a hop bite in the middle and an almost dank finish. The hop taste is leaning to the tropical side. Another good beer from Gigantic. Rated 8-15-2021

 

 

 

 

At the Crosscut Taproom in Castle Rock WA. Pour is light head, definite citrus and piney to the nose. Light but pleasant mouthfeel with good carbonation. Nice balance.

 

500 ml bottle from Lifesource Natural Grocer in Salem OR.
$4.49.
I swear i love the artwork in all the Gigantic labels ..superb.
Hazy yellow/gold body with a large attractive thick and creamy off white head.
Vry substantial nose..mostly lemon rind and orange pips..but also spruce tips and peach pit. Nice.
Tste much the same but with more body leading to an almost creamy aspect to it all.
Mouth feel is medium with medium low carbonation..goes well in the mouth.
This is how you do a Hazy IPA..great stuff

 

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a moderately hazy golden amber with fine, two finger white head with good retention and thick lacing. Aroma of lightly caramel malt, citrus and tropical fruit hops, orange, tangerine, lemon, mango and a little pineapple. Flavor is pale malt with slight caramel, orange, tangerine and mango juice, light tropical hops, a little mild stone fruit and pineapple in the finish with light hop bitterness. Great moderately creamy body with nice mouth feel. Solidly in the tropical and citrus, very fruit forward spectrum of hazy IPAs, Glow Cloud has some of the mildest hop alpha oil content I've had. The fruit flavor combination and pleasant creamy body still made this a nice drinking hazy IPA. It kept my interest throughout the bottle, without turning into fruit juice like many of this style do after a while. Not my favorite profile, but quite enjoyable and flavorful.
