BACK LABEL
You can only drink so many beers in a lifetime, so you better make each one count. That's where we can help. Because at Epic we're obessed with creating big hop-fuelled beers. This takes a shed-load of skill. It also takes a shed-load of hops. In fact there are 23 crammed into this bottle. Many brewers would call that 'insane'. We call it flavour.

Tasting notes by Joelle Thomson

Rich aromas of orange rind, fresh herbs and jasmine seem to intermingle in this not-too-pale, orange hued “pale ale”. The flavours in this beer run the gamut of sweet citrus to savoury countryside fresh mown grass; this would be a great match with tasty or aged cheddar.
