Glimmerglass: A Poem

As I jauntily enter a liquor store

hoping to find some Hacker-Pschorr,

my eye is caught by a label I pass:

Brewery Ommegang’s Glimmerglass.

A beauteous name; can the beer live up to it?

I’m sick of dull beer… I may throw a fit!

But Glimmerglass comes as if borne on a cloud;

its foam floats in my glass like a gossamer shroud.

The sprightly saison hits my lip,

and I’m enthralled at first sip.

Such a riot of flavors and such quaffability!

I could drink this forever (if I lived to infinity).

It’s a spritzy endeavor – full of effervescence

and perfect for feeling that springtime transcendence.

So shed all your layers, and hang up your rakes;

springtime is here with a Glimmerglass Pint Break!
