UPDATED: NOV 28, 2020 Solid dark golden pour. Hoppy and danky. Biscuity and malty. Smooth. Very quaffable. Very good. Great representation of an APA imo. Love it!

UPDATED: MAY 7, 2020 330 mL bottle from mix six, Countdown. Pale brown, high carbonation but the head doesn't last. Clear, crisp. Similar appearance and nose to Thunder APA, but that is hoppier. I'd prefer the Thunder, but this is still damn fine. I haven't met an Epic beer I didn't like (or love!) yet.

UPDATED: MAR 26, 2019 This was the first beer that I drink in NZ on my honeymoon so I’ll always love it.

A very nice brew that delivers on every front, looks nice in the glass, smells nice and most importantly tastes great.

Golden to bronze colored, clear pour with a single finger head. Lace present. Aroma of pine with a hint of sweetness in there. Taste is full of diacetyl, artificial butter. Bitter finish hides the butter a bit, but I just can't get past that. Medium bodied.

500ml bottle Golden amber color with great head. Aroma is orange, peach and biscuit malt. Mild bitterness followed by malty palate and smooth biscuit finish. Nice one.

500ml bottle pours a yellow amber color with a bit of head. Mild hop bitterness. English style hops.

330ml Bottle. Pours a mild gold with small amounts of white head. Small nose with hints of hops and malts. The taste is similar to the nose. A strong malt base which overpowers and hop profile.
