Bottle. Clear amber/copper liquid with medium off-white head. Aroma of flowers, tangerine, citrus, pine and earth. Taste is light sweet and light to medium bitter with notes of flowers, tangerine and mango. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Smells great but the taste is too sweet and not bitter enough for an IPA.

Bottle from Monument in Concord, CA. Pours very dark brown/black with a cascading dark tan foamy head - like on nitro! Aromas of strong treacle, licorice, coffee. Med body or better. Flavor is like aroma, but it’s not so sweet as expected, and it has very perceptible hops. Although it’s sweet, there’s enough hop to fairly balance it. Quite a strongly flavored ale. Rather mouth smacking.

From a 500ml on 16/6/2013. Pours a clear deep orange with a smallish head. Has a lovely fruity floral, hoppy aroma featuring with some spices and lots of bergamot. Flavour wise, its fruity (including more bergamot) and spicy, with a firm bit not overwhelming hop bitterness. Has a medium body and carbonation. Really quite subtle by I PA standards but very classy and enjoyable, as is typical of Epic.
