According to Luke from Epic: "This beer is made with all USA grown ingredients (malt, hops and yeast). This is the first time I had the opportunity in NZ to do this. Cryer Malt imported some US grown malt which we have used to make this beer. The recipe was design as a hat tip to the moment in time where I had my lifes path changed by having a craft beer epiphany, which has ultimately lead me to making this beer. In 1991 I was at university in California, and got my first taste of craft beer (this happened to be Sierra Nevada and it was first drunk in Chico). The beer captures the light pale ale style that has influenced me, my beer tastes, the way I like to brew. It is pretty simple with the hop flavour being driven by old school aroma hops - Cascade & Centennial. Intended as a light floral easy tasting summer pale ale." This beer will only be available on tap over the summer. (No bottles). So enjoy it when you see it.
