In the beginning, there was nothing. Then an impish brewer piled a ludicrous amount of hops inot a batch of beer. This zymurgical big bang is Epic Armageddon, an apocalyptic assault on your preconceptions and taste buds. It may be too huge for this fragile planet so enjoy this beer like it was the last one on Earth

330ml can from School of Animals, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a crystal clear medium amber colour with a lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is malt and citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, grainy, dank, resin, light citrus, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Amber with a frothy, white head. Caramel aroma with a melange of tropical fruits underneath, but also goes in a somewhat floral direction. Taste is bittersweet up front, bitter at the back with a modest hops kick. Medium bodied, balanced carbonation, nice creamy feel. Nice.

Clear, light amber and copper coloured body with a very thin, off-white head. Tons of small bubbles rising from the bottom are noticeable as well. Aroma of very bright hops, malt, caramel and some subdued nuttiness. Medium-bodied; Strong hop flavour throughout with a good malty and balanced kick that shows through as well and some mild sugars come out. Aftertaste is clean and bitter from the hops, of course, with a very nice kick in flavour that ends the entire beer nicely. Overall, a very nice beer that really shows off New Zealand's quality beer producers! This one was great for me to try! I sampled this 500 mL bottle, purchased at the New World Grocery [store] in Auckland, New Zealand on 22-August-2009, sampled later that same day on 22-August-2009, during one of the stops on my honeymoon, some eleven years ago! I found this paper rating in my paperwork for my honeymoon, and as I was throwing away excess items, I found this and realized that I never rated this, nor have had it in the eleven intervening years. Cheers to my wife and I, still happily married, and while we haven't visited New Zealand in those past eleven years, we do have three kids now.

Tall bottle from Countdown outside Christchurch airport drank on a walk in Queenstown. Dank hops with brassy malts, very resinous, in a classic west coast/NZ style (vs more hazy juicy). Light palate. Solid bitterness. Good example of this style.
