Pre-Release Epic Lager

Today I'm delivering two kegs of pre-release Epic Lager to Hallertau. This is the first time it will be available for sale in Auckland.

It has been available for a number of weeks in Wellington.

On Tap at the Malthouse
On Fill Your Own at Regional Wines & Spirits

If and when you have tried it, please give me some feedback. Any feedback will contribute to the final tweaks before formulating the final recipe.

Beer from the Motherland

Epic Pale Ale 5.4%ABV

The first APA up and it’s the star of recent NZ beer history. Full of American hops and finding its way into chillers that have never seen a craft beer in there lives its big its brash and you’ll never again be hopless.

Pours a pale gold with a sustained white head. Aroma features a complex mix of lychees, a touch of gooseberry, an un defined tropical fruit note, tropic Just Juice? . On the palate there is lots of tropical fruit, a slight salty note, some sweet malt a slightly hollow finish that seems to be neither bitter nor sweet. Fantastic aroma, a little unbalanced on the palate.
