Epic Armageddon IPA (6.66) ABV

In the beginning, there was nothing. Then an impish brewer piled a ludicrous amount of hops inot a batch of beer. This zymurgical big bang is Epic Armageddon, an apocalyptic assault on your preconceptions and taste buds. It may be too huge for this fragile planet so enjoy this beer like it was the last one on Earth.

Proclaiming to have approximately 42 hops in every 500ml bottle, this much buzzed about American IPA from much buzzed about New Zealand brewery Epic, is flat out one of the absolute best beers I have ever tasted – certainly one of the very best IPA’s. It has a sweet floral aroma; all lush and green at the periphery. Through the entire drink the bitterness has a dewy freshness about it. There is something so perfect, so simply balanced and approachable about this beer.

Pours a crystal clear golden amber with loads of carbonation and a foamy white head. Right from the second of the pour, the hops smack you in the face. Piney and resinous. Lemon, grapefruit, and some caramel notes fill the nose. The flavor was not what I was expecting. Malty up front with some citrus following and a decent bitter finish.
