Pours gold with a large lasting head.Nose shows floral, spicy hops in abundance along with a hint of honey and some soft grassy hops. Some pear and peach notes too.Flavours include more honey, spicy hops, a bit of a earthy hops note too. Some light sweet malt and hints of hay behind.

Can. Orange with a white head. Aroma of tinned tropical fruit cup (mango, mandarin, pineapple), some crackery and herbal notes. 7- Light bodied - really rather empty in the middle. 3- Fruity but not much else with moderate bitterness. OK but not a standout for Epic.

On tap at Vultures Lane. Orange, caramel, pear. Big and fruity, though not with the advertised tropical notes, but there’s really just not much substance to it for me. There’s not much malt character, and there’s not much bitterness despite the advertised "Epic hoppiness". That all said, I finished my pint pretty quickly and I quite enjoyed it.
