REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Pours hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. Frothy white head; excellent lacing on the glass. 4.75/5

Smell (25%): Tropical pineapple, grapefruit, and tangerine. All tropical, like juice. 5/5

Taste (40%): Soft tropical to start, then a citrus explosion through the aftertaste. Extremely easy drinking. Controlled citrus bitterness. Oaty malt complements ideally. 4.75/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied; some carbonation. Extremely juicy with no dry tongue. 5/5

Overall (20%): A world-class Pale Ale. Glorious was a crazy smooth and drinkable beer with tons of citrus throughout. The website says 72 IBU but the flavor would say it's far less. I prefer this one over Lord Hobo's flagship IPA. Glorious is another must-get for the hazy New England-style beer fan. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.838/5
