3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A well built lager from Epic. Well balanced and nicely hopped. Certainly a refreshing beer for those SLC summers. Not the most thrilling offering from Epic, but certainly worth giving a shot. Got to hand it to these guys for their wide range of offerings given their size.
Pours a pale golden yellow with a nice creamy head. Head does die down rather quickly. An easy drinking, refreshing brew.

Having climbed this mountain I loved the bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a nice white head and moderate lacing. Nose of caramel malts with some grassy hops. Medium in body with a smooth lager mouthfeel. The flavor is fruity, with some bitterness that carries over into the finish. . A very well crafted lager and easy drinking.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Mild aroma, with hints of bread and apple. Pours a clear light yellow, with a full white head. Thin grainy flavor, with a touch of grassy hops in the finish. This is a light beer, good for sessions or drinking on a hot night. There’s more hops in this then I was expecting, almost bringing this beer into the pilsner realm. Overall it’s approachable, drinkable, and unremarkable.
