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

Pours an amber colour with a thick head. Aroma is hops, lychees and pineapple. Flavour is all about piney, resiny, citric hops. Not unique in any way, but very tasty.

Bottle. Nose: grapefruit, pineapple and caramel notes. Taste: Sweet malts in the background. Straight forward citric hop bitterness with some grape notes in the aftertaste. Great balance! Very refreshing and easy to drink.

500ml Bottle - Gold/amber with a foamy head. Pine, grapefruit, toffee, peach and passion fruit feature in the extremely enticing aroma. Bitter, hoppy and slightly sweet taste with notes of grapefruit, peaches in syrup and sticky toffee pudding. Very enjoyable and doesn’t taste as strong as it is.

50 cl bottle from Systembolaget. Light amber or golden, clear body with medium off-white head. Smells of citrus, pine, grapefruit, toffee, tropical fruits and some soap. Nice, hoppy and a bit spicy. Taste is dry with a medium bitterness (for the style). The bitterness could have been higher style-wise, but this level makes the beer very drinkable. Nice balance overall. Medium bodied with quite long finish and nice dryness. Good, stable IPA.

Bottled. Clear deep golden, rich firm head. Concentrated hoppy lychee aroma. Sweet with dense, rounded mouthfeel. Perfumy lychee and gooseberry-like hops. Really bitter finish, but not overly aggressive. Top stuff!

Bottle. Golden orange with a medium white head. Nice fruity aroma of pineapple, grape and resin. Also some grass and flowers. Pleasant taste with a lot of hops, also some malt to balance it. Long aftertaste with a nice bitterness. A nice beer!
