Glacier definately has more of a minty herbal character with hints of pine and light citrus. Also a very clean bittering hop- finishes very smooth. Was not sampled very fresh so it probalby would have been awesome last year, but some of the hop flavor and aromas had faded.

On tap at the Sly Fox Brew Pub. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of flowers, some spices and very light citrus. Tastes of the same.

amber color nice lacing on the glass. hop bite at first sip that wasn’t very spectacular because of a watery finish.

Tap. This was pretty much a run-of-the-mill Sly Fox IPA. Very hoppy, pretty bitter, citrusy and piney notes in the flavor and aroma. Overall, delicious, but not unique.

Glacier hops are spicy and yes even minty. Attractive IPA with golden body and pillowy white head. Floral aroma, and spicy flavor. This is only the second beer I’m aware I’ve consumed with glacier hops (other beer was DFH Burton Baton).
