Can't wait to hear your report Dave. I'm off to the front door to see if mine are here.

Bed, Bath & Beyond sells a pair for $20, regular price. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/p ... ryId=12621

The write-up says 15 ounce capacity, however. Most other places they're listed as 19-ounce. Not sure if these are the same glass with a faulty write-up, or a smaller version.

I wonder if Spiegalau/Reidel are marketing the remainder of the smaller Red+White wine glasses as smaller IPA glasses (since, as mentioned before, they are the exact same glass, only smaller)... Interesting...

I noticed there's a good deal of headspace in these glasses, but I figured it was engineered that way to allow a lot of foam, which would enhance the release of aroma.

I had a couple of Sam Adams Latitude 48 IPAs from them last night. They're nice glasses, and they have a streamlined elegance to them, visually. As far as enhancing the beer, I think the Sam Adams Perfect Pint does a better job, but these are a close second, and are certainly better than drinking beer from, say, a Mason Jar or a Flintstones jelly glass.
