About
David Cole and Peter Erickson are the founders and co-owners of Epic Brewing Company. Cole and Erickson, originally from California, started an international aquaculture company in Utah in 1992. In 2008, Utah law changed allowing these two entrepreneurs to pursue their longtime dream of opening a strong beer microbrewery in Utah, like those they frequented in the Golden State.
Admittedly, beer geeks, foodies, and "Epic" adventure junkies, share a passion for making and drinking fine ales and lagers. The Epic team has a strong belief in doing everything "all out."

6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Bottle: Dark brown pour with a thin, creamy brown head. Light aroma is dry and roasty with bits of bittersweet cocoa. Roasty overtones dominate the flavor, but there is not much else going on. A little bittersweetness in the tail. A little metallic twang that goes away once it warms a bit. Ok, but nothing noteworthy.

OK, but too much bitterness in the finish. The alcohols are well hidden.

Bomber courtesy of douglas88 pouring clear copper with tan head. The aroma has muted spicy to earthy hoppy notes followed quickly by various malts. The taste has plenty of floral and spicy hops to go around as it rolls into earthy hops, malt sweetness, some biscuit malt qualities and then sweet caramel malts too.

Bomber courtesy of douglas88 pouring clear copper with light tan head. The aroma is biscuit, malt, some caramel malt and modestly roasted malts. The taste is biscuity, malty and has pulses of vague hop bitterness as well as sweet caramel malts. It seems to get a touch grainy around the edges as it heads into the finish. Full malt forward brew seeming somewhat disjointed.

Bottle at the Funky 6. Pours hazy yellow with a modest, white head. Citrusy aroma with cereal malts, coriander and other spices. Fairly sweet in the flavor, some bready yeast and unripe fruits that lend hints of tartness. Light to medium in body with average carbonation. Semi-dry finish with more citrus notes, various spices and moderate, sweet malts. Very decent beer.

22oz Bottle thanks to inflatablehair. Pours out a gold topped with a medium white head. Aroma of light peach, fresh grass, and a little spice. Taste was more of the peach along with some light floral notes, and some spice.
