Bottle at Hair of the Dog, Phrom Phong. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is citrus caramel. The flavour is moderate bitter with a big citrus fruit woody hop palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

On tap at Brewers Cooperative. Aroma is sweet peach, and a sharp bitterness almost reminiscent of capsicum (in a good way). Taste is also good, with some more sweet peach, a little perfume and a nice lingering bitterness.

[3/16] Growler. Clear amber with an inch of off white head that lasts well 4+ Vibrant aroma of passionfruit, barely ripe mango, pine, a little sticky bread crust. 8 Light bodied. Loads of fruit - some bitter orange as well as passionfruit and mango - but slightly earthy and with (just) enough bread and pine to keep it clear of fruit salad territory. Medium high bitterness at the end with a bit of boiled orange. I’ve had a number of really good Epic pale ales that were still somehow not quite my thing and thought when one comes along that is it will be something. [10/16] Bottle. A little less vibrant but still very impressive. Mind you at $A14 for 500ml, it’d want to be. [4/18] Now in 330ml bottles. Still hits the spot. bb of 2/19 seems wildly optimistic, though.
