We indulged in our desire to create an IPA that personifies the vivid flavors that can be coaxed from the hop cone, painted on a canvas of soft malt that allows the flavors to shine through. Extensively hopped in the kettle and in the fermentor, we spared nothing in making this beer.

Epiphany was designed to showcase the glorious flavor and aromatics of hops without any astringent bitterness.

Citrus, tropical fruit and pine blend to provide you with a sublimely juicy hop experience.

East or west coast? No. This is a Maine IPA.

Sample at the taproom. Hazy golden color with a medium thick white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of tropical fruit, piney hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, herbal hops, melon and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Solid beer all around.

Tap into a short glass showing lightly filtered brownish orange with half a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows light notes of guava and pineapple. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Guava forward with a moderately intense citric edge. Moderate bitterness on finish.

Pours a cloudy golden yellow, with almost no head and quite a few floaty bits. Aroma is grassy, with some citrus. Flavor is very hop-forward, with lots of pine/spruce, a touch of grass, and maybe some slight citrus elements. It isn’t bad.

Tap. Three Penny Taproom, Montpelier, VT. Hazy gold. Frothy, mostly lasting, white head. Nose has spritzy citrus. Notes of mandarin, melon skin and passion fruit. Some aspirin like minerality. Taste is rich, juicy bitter. Medium body, with some lip stickiness going on. Bitterness stays the course, with some of the minerality at the end.
