Bottle from Lupe Pintos. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Lively carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, bitter lemon, subtle spices and a hint of raspberry vinegar. Flavour of tinned mandarin, cloudy lemonade and lime chutney. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Very fizzy mouthfeel. A refreshing and interesting beer. I’m really enjoying Epochal’s unique beers - they engage the brain.

Hazy red beer, off white head. Funky, fruity aroma. Flavour follows suit, with tartness and fruit, a little malt and spice too.

Bottle from Cork and Cask. Pours hazy pale gold with a thin white head. Quite high carbonation. Aromas of strawberry and melon, biscuit and sherbet. Taste is green, woody, peach and sherbet again. Dry finish. Interesting.

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Appearance - brown with orange chinks and a beige head. Nose - oak, toffee, caramel. Taste - decidedly tangy, sour and yeasty. Perhaps some cherry and sour toffee thing. Palate - medium bodied, tangy, funky, sour and woody with a persistent finish. Overall - this is actually a Flemish brown in style. And this was the intention. Good, once you've realised it.

Hazy golden beer, white head. Smells zesty and tart. Flavour is sharp, with yeast and wood. Citrus fruit, a bit of earthiness. Nicely balanced.
