Spiegelau Tasting Kit Set/4 499/24/52/54/55 Beer Classics UK/4

Spiegelau is part of the Riedel Group and one of the oldest European glass manufacturers. Spiegelau glasses are made using a special platinum glass process that removes all possible impurities from the glass mixture. This process ensures crystal-clear glasses with a microscopically smooth surface. Quality significantly affects the durability of the glasses. Spiegelau glasses have been tested to withstand over 1500 dishwasher cycles without scratching or losing their brightness.

With the Spiegelau beer set, you can experience the effect of different beer glasses on the aroma and taste of beer. The set includes a tulip glass, a lager glass, a wheat beer glass, and an IPA glass. It is a perfect gift idea for beer enthusiasts.

Temperature and appearance of beer

In the thin Spiegelau beer glasses, beer stays fresh and cool for longer. In thick-rimmed, poor-quality glasses, beer warms up faster and loses carbonation. In thin, high-quality glasses, you can quickly distinguish color variations due to different malts, the amount of carbonation, the height of the foam, and the consistency.

Aroma of beer

The delicate aromas of high-quality beer arise from the balance of yeast, water, malt sweetness, and hop bitterness. Floral, herbal, and fruity nuances can be detected in the aroma. In the correctly shaped glass, the range of aromas is enhanced, and the delicate scents can reach the nose.

Taste of beer

When drinking from a Spiegelau beer glass, the aromas of beer are directed to the nose and different parts of the mouth as desired. In a poorly shaped glass, the taste of beer can become bitter, unremarkable in aromas, and overall uninteresting. Additionally, the beer pours to the back of the mouth when drinking, which emphasizes the bitter taste.
