Much better than I expected. "Mash Up" kinda suggests "confused" to me, but this beer is anything but. It is a quintessential Epic beer. Floral, citrusy, tropical NZ hops on a light sweet, and perfectly appropriate malt base. After drinking dank and heavy for the last couple of weeks, this light and zesty ale really cuts through. Nice one.

Light haze on this gold beer. Short pale cream coloured head. Light palate, crispy and semi dry. Mild minerals. Nice hops on a fresh tasting pale malt base. A little orange marmalade, tropical fruits, peach. Semi dry finish with a mild bitter linger and a touch of mint.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Central City Liquors, Surrey, BC
It says 2011 on the label, I hope it’s not so old. It pours a golden hazy color with medium sized head. The hop aroma is dry, a bit fruity (peach and apricot) and herbaceous, with a sweaty hint in the end. Dry and lean mouthfeel; light malt flavor, with a strong grassy presence; strong bitterness, with soft piney resins and some citrusy fruitiness (oranges mainly).
A good beer, but without the fresh touch.

Pours a golden, lightly amber colour with a dense white head. Aromas of earthy, herbal hops and of sweet malts. Tastes of earthy hops, with a malty sweetness that rounds it off. Finish is long and bitter-sweet. Very tasty and sessionable.

0,5 l bottle kindly shared by Sigmund. Pours a clear golden body with a white film that laces well. Glandular, fruity, barnyard and light buttery malty notes on the nose. Overcabonated. Glandular, bitter with notes of gooseberries in the mouth. Lasting finish. Dry mouth. The initial flavors are quite overpowering, but once the flavors behind come through, it becomes more enjoyable
