Epic Pale Ale

classy beer, 15 kinds of hops huh? Aroma is great, hoppy and sweet. Flavour is also good, biscuity malts that are covered with some delicate hops. Was expecting a sledgehammer of a beer but it has impeccable balance.

Bottle at home. Amber orange with a white head. Good body and smooth carbonation. Juicey malt and refreshing piney citrus hops. The best beer that I’ve tried from down under.

bottled and on tap. great citrusy hoppy flavour. palate is quite hoppy but on the dry side. clean bitter finish -perfect for summer and warm winters! well done Luke!

On tap and from bottle. A deep amber-orange. Has a wonderful citrusy aroma and flavour. orange peel hop dominates. one of my favourite brews and one of the first NZ craft beers I ever tried. I call it "my old friend whom I don’t visit often enough", because I am constantly passing over it in favour of something I haven’t tried before.

Bottle at The Spotify tasting. Yes, certainly hoppier than on cask, but it then lacks a bit of body too. Yes it is hoppy and enjoyably but still not living up to its hype. Touch of rose petal flavour.

Draught at The Malthouse, Wellington. Golden with a medium white head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, grass and pine. The flavour is malt, grapefruit and pine. Good hop bitterness with a slight sweet finish. I enjoyed this beer.

Big bottle. Pours a dark 18k-golden yellow with a big rocky white head. The aroma is all hops: zesty citrus, perfumey conifer resin. Very hoppy palate, malts are straw-like, reedy. Finish is long and bitter. Very good.

Pours golden orange with a nice off white head. Nose is absolutely dominated by piney, resinous hops. Palate is much the same with support from some light malt and citrus fruit. Finish is long with medium/high bitterness. This is awesome!!
