Can. Nearly opaque yellowish orange with a brief and loose white head.3- A mix of zesty and boiled lolly citrus with pineapple and light bread. A little bready malt and lots of typically Epic vibrant fruit, with a zesty edge to juicy citrus and tropical fruit. Modest bitterness nonetheless stands out in a dryish finish. I wonder whether we'll be released from comic book films and hazies at some stage.

Starts strong with an alluring aroma of caramel, grapefruit, biscuit and passionfruit. Unfortunately it's much thinner than expected when tasted.

Can. Clear amber with an inch of white head. Aroma of kumquat, pine, breadcrust, hints of red berries. Rather sweet with caramel, berries and bread with some citrus and plenty of pine before a bitter finish that struggles a bit to cut through the sweetness. Didn't quite work for me - needed one or more of: a top note, a drier finish, more bitterness.
