Pale Ale from Epic Brewing Company

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
On keg at the Bow Bar. Appearance - not particularly pale. More a deep amber. Decent head. Nose - a bit elusive. Citrus and pine. Resin. Dried fruits. Taste - toffee and red fruits. Definitely raisins on the end. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - tastes stronger and more complex than the ABV. It’s hard to put this in the pale ale category.

Equinox IPA from Epic Brewing Company

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottle. Clear amber with an off white head that lasts well. Earthy and spicy aroma with mandarins and lychees lurking a bit behind, some caramel. Smooth and quite sweet with toffee and more brooding tropical fruit notes than suggested by an initial sniff. Earthy, herbal and increasingly peppery. Interesting and complex hop aromatics if this is as it seems a single hop beer, just not sure they quite work with the sweetness. Was thinking it finishes too sweet, but maybe those herbal/ peppery/ almost capsicum-like things would get overbearing were it drier - there’s a chile burn right at the end. Very interesting, but not quite harmonious.

Mother Kelly’s. Keg. Almost opaque dark brown beer, small cream colour head. Palate is crispy and a little dry. Smooth dark malts with a fair bit of earthy coffee. Nice fruity back end - kinda caramel prune. Dry airy finish. Nice flavour medley but a bit dry.

1991 IPA from Epic Brewing Company
11 years ago
7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8
Amber with a small off white head. Aroma of caramel, peach, flowers, grapefruit, spices, some pine. Fairly light bodied. More sticky bread crust than caramel with the hops as seasoning rather than the main show. Floral and spicy mostly, with some resin. Lacks the vibrant fruit of some of their other pale ales, but a nice drop.
