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".

Clear amber/yellowish color. Medium white head with small bubbles. Aroma of tropical fruits, grass, resin, bread, caramel. Fruity taste, caramel, bread. Finishes a little bit dry and bitter. Good balance between malt and hops. I thought this would be hoppier but since it has been shipped all the way from NZ it’s not very fresh.

Marstonlad (172) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAY 19, 2013
Bottle from Systembolaget, Uppsala. A clear golden color and a white head. Aroma is grassy and fruity. It has a notable hop profile that results in some interesting floral and exotic fruity notes. Taste is quite bitter but not brutally. Aromatic tropical fruitiness and the normal citrus flavour feature most. Medium body, slightly sticky texture. Bitter and very fruity IPA, a class act from New Zealand.
