So I got the Samuel Adams glasses for Christmas and...?!
Anybody else experience this?
Answers: They really do work! I did a side by side comparison with a standard shaker (straight sided pint glass) and the Adams glass. The flavor difference was AMAZING.
Anybody else experience this?
Yes. The glasses are almost as good as the beer.
They are not attractive glasses, but my husband says that the ergonomics are great!
The flavor changed? You're serious? I believe you may be perceiving a difference because the glass may be holding in more of the aroma of the beer, or the shape may lend itself to your particular style of pouring a beer (better head, scent release) but change the flavor, I do not think so. I don't say this to be rude, I just know it can not be, I've got a substantial collection of glass ware ranging from Chimay chalices, snifters for extreme beers, varieties of tulips, pilsner glasses, weizen glasses and everything in between.
edit- ah I see, I've heard mention of these but I have yet to see them, do you have a link to a photo?
I don't know if this time of year is good for, or a curse to glassware fans, as every gift set comes with a glass or two, the hiccup being they only come with a glass or two...
edit2- are these them- http://tinyurl.com/2cepog (ebay auction) if so the shape does look intriguing, ive got a tulip or two that have nearly the same shape aside from ending with a handle. I'll use those tonight and then see if i can track these down.
