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".

Nice floral aroma, bit o citrus and some sweet malt, bright carb on a medium body, earthy flavours dominate the palate, leading through to a sweetish finish with lingering bitterness. Not sure I like the earthiness so much, but pretty tasty otherwise.

Light fruity, citrus, and grapefruit notes on the nose. Appearance is a light gold with a massive foam top. Taste is moderate leafy hop bitterness with a small bready malt finish. Overall, a decent India Pale Ale at best. Way too much carbonation for my liking. I’d give this a C rating.

Det här är en trevlig och välhumlad sak med mycket beska, nästan lite för mycket beska. Men i stort var det en behaglig upplevelse.

Yellow. Average head. Fresh smell. Overwhelmingly hoppy. Epic are to be admired for their guts, but have to know that a beer doesn’t get better and better the more hops you add. They know better than this.

DasBierChef (683) - Lucan, Minnesota, USA - JAN 9, 2012
Pours a clear gold with thick white head. Aroma of bittering hops.... piney, resin, and a bit of citrus too. Flavor is very well balanced. Malty up front with a nice floral middle and slightly bitter finish that doens’t leave a bad taste. Bravo.

bittermestupid (247) - Canton, Ohio, USA - JAN 7, 2012
Pours pale golden with a nice frothy white head. Smell: grapefruit, lemons, nice caramel notes, some tea, pine and honey. Very bright hop profile, grapefruit, pine, lemonhead candy, honey and other citrus notes. Medium-thick on the palate with a good pine resin finish.

decaturstevo (3385) - decatur, Tennessee, USA - JAN 7, 2012
Hard yellow pour with a creamy white head and lace. Aroma is resiny hops and bready malt. Sweet bready maltiness and a decent resiny bitter finish. Just a tad light on maltiness but still a pretty tasty beer. A bit fizzy carbonation for my taste. I could drink a few.
