Bottle-pours hazy dark orange almost amber with a huge fluffy white soapy head from a bathtub. This is a sign of old age and oxidization. nose is floral with some apple, grains and earthy hops with oxidization. smell isnt bad its clean but the oxidization definately takes away here. flavors are lightly earthy, pale and caramel malt with some light husky notes, lite resin, with a short oxidized malt finish with lingering bitterness. I bet this beer is fantastic fresh but i was worried i got an old bottle when i picked this up. Must try this one fresh!

Bottle from EZ liquors. Pours out a nice almost reddish copper color with a big white head. Aroma is of light citrus and some bready biscuit and sweet malts. Taste is a decent balance of spicy and citrus hops, doughy grainy bread, biscuit and some lingering sweetness with a bitter finish. Solid.

Bomber from EZ. WTF, how the hell is this rating so high. In short this is a super dry, boozey, grainy APA. The ABV, even though it’s only 5.8%, is apparent in the the palate and flavor. If you ever thought 5.8% was way too little for ABV try this one. Not a fan about anything from this one.

Used to be you could only get 3.2 beer in Utah. This Epic company is pretty good. I’m liking most of their beer so far. This is one of the better ones. A very nice pine and citrus aroma from a light amber pour with a lacing lasting head. The flavor has a nice malt sweetness to start and then gives way to a nice hop presence. Very tasty.

Bottle from Epic. Pours a warm orange color with an off-white head. Smells and tastes of orange zest, bitter hops, salt, and malt. Balanced and easy drinking. Great for the style.

Bomber. Pours cloudy orange with a half finger white head. The nose is floral and citrus hops with some bready malts. The taste is citrus, bready malt, light pine in the finish. Medium creamy mouthfeel. OK.

Shiny penny pour with a thick bubbly ivory head that clung tightly to the inside of the glass. Aroma of grapefruit, peppery spice, buttermilk biscuit, with a tropical influence. Flavor is similar with pine and spicy notes...another good one by Epic.

(22oz bottle from Total Wine Desert Ridge). Pours a clear copper color with chunky 2 finger off-white head. Leaves some nice, thick lacing behind. The carbonation is quite active. Aroma has some nice fruits (dried apricot?), bread and some perfumey florals. The taste is sweet, but not overdone, with that perfuminess again being noticeable in a pleasant way that balances well with the light bitterness. Medium bodied with an oily texture. Finish is bitter. This is a bit different from the other Epic India and pale ales. A little more robust mouthfeel and malt forward. Good beer that drinks like a session beer.
