COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Inspired by west Coast IPA’s on a trip to San Diego for the World Beer Cup and a part of an IPA showdown with Hallertau Brewery . Only 1000 litres of this insane hop joy have been created. The rumour has started that Epic Armageddon IPA is "the sole reason there is a global hop shortage".

hayduke (2533) - Eureka, California, USA - APR 6, 2012
Pours a clear orange color with a good sized foamy white head that produced nice lacing. Nose is powerful with citrus/ and pine hops. Full bodied with a rich slick. mouthfeel. Flavor is a very nice pine, floral, and citrus bitter that roll over into the finish. Very nice IPA.

VTHopHead (1387) - Barre, Vermont, USA - MAR 25, 2012
Bottle/500ml - Pours a clear orange amber in color with a medium foamy white head that stuck around to produce some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is strong mix of citrus/grapefruit, floral and pine hops along with just a hint of tropical fruit. Flavor is strongly bitter with lots of pine and floral hops... very hoppy (nice). Lingering bitterness into the finish. One of the better non-US IPAs that I have had... enjoyable!

beerisgoodforu (753) - Nørresundby, DENMARK - MAR 6, 2012
Bottle. Pours a golden yellow color with an orange hue and a white head. Aroma is of grapefruit, citrus and floral hoppy notes along with some sweet malt. Flavor follows the aroma with grapefruit, citrus, floral elderflower notes, resin and some sweet malt. The body is medium with a dry mouth feel. Overall a pretty solid IPA.

Suttree (3926) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - MAR 3, 2012
Bright orange, thin white head. Smells like pine and citrus. Flavor is also pine and citrus, then some caramel, then more hops in the finish. Nothing that earth-shattering, but well made and tasty.

Pours a orange colour with a tall off-white head. Aroma is quite fruity, orange, citrus and a nice hoppiness. Taste is also fruity with orange, citrus and pine all leading to a nicely balanced bitter finish. Top job!
