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

500ml bottle [Thanx David]. Clear orangey golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity hop aroma has notes of orange, tangerine, some grapefruit. Taste is fairly bitter hoppy, similar fruity notes: orange, tangerine, grapefruit. Sadly a bit weak on the malty side.

Bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver
Light amber color, hazy, with small head. Excellent aroma of fresh and fruity hops; peach, litchi. Good body structure, but luckily the mouthfeel is lean; toffee flavor, quite dry, with very strong bitterness; the hops provide a lot of soft resins, light piney touch, and moderate orange fruitiness; the final is strong, long, if possible a bit dusty.
Very fresh, excellent.

(Bottle) Beautiful looking clear golden amber beer with great white head. Excellent hoppy aroma with plenty of fruit notes - stone fruit, pineapple - and pine. Palate is dominated by mouth filling carbonation - pleasant but a bit too much perhaps. The flavour is, pleasantly, dominated by the hops; imparting some nice fruity notes at the start but quickly the strong and very nice hop bitterness rolls over everything else and into a long finish. An excellent hoppy IPA; whilst styled on the very heavily hopped American type it is comparatively restrained, and as such it is an enjoyable drink.

Bomber. Clear amber body. White, frothy head, rapidly diminishing. Raw, leafy hops dominate the aroma. Notes of caramel, toasted grain. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, soft carbonation. Chewy hops and some raw grain. Thick with lingering bitterness. Floral notes in the finish is nice. Reminded me of a thick, rich Alpha King.

This brew pours a clear orange-gold color with a medium foamy white head that diminishes steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of hops and fruit, plus some sweet malt. Medium body and moderately bitter with flavors of grassy hops, citrus and malt. The finish is hoppy with a lingering grapefruit aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Här finns inget att klaga på. Mycket smak av tropisk frukt, söt och barrig humle.

Bottle. Pours an orangish gold with a decent head and lovely aromas that behold a little bit of aged IPA (cardboard and caramel), citrus and pine. Flavor has quite a bit of mango, citrus, caramel and a hint of soap. This is yummy.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks Ariel. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma has a bit of malt and some piney and citric, yet slightly old hops. Flavor has a bit of malty sweetness and decent bitter hoppiness with citrus and light stale notes. Medium-bodied. Decent.
