Bottle. Bright amber - almost orange - with a white head. Vibrant aroma (as usual with Epic) with zesty blood orange, passionfruit, dried mango skin, lychees. Carbonation is on the low side of medium which emphasizes the sweet fruit where the tropical meets some sticky bread crust. A punchy aromatic burst at the start of a mouthful is then tamed by a sweetness that gradually gives way to firmish bitterness. Does the hop hash allow it to have lots of sweet tropical fruit without being cloying? I dunno, but it works pretty well.
