O’hare’s Beer Club February 2013 Box
From Auckland, New Zealand’s Epic Brewing Company comes their “Armageddon IPA”. This beer has an off white head that sits above a golden/amber beer. The aroma of the beer consists of pine and tropical fruits. The flavour is of pine, tropical fruits, grapefruit, citrus, decent hops hit with a semi sweet finish. The alcohol content is 6.66% and an IBU of 60. Like the name suggests this IPA is pretty darn Epic.
Commercial Description: In the beginning, there was nothing. Then an impish brewer piled a ludicrous amount of hops into a batch of beer. This zymurgical big bang is Epic Armageddon, an apocalyptic assault on your preconceptions and taste buds. It may be too huge for this fragile planet so enjoy this beer like it was the last one on Earth.
Malts: English pale ale, caramalt
Hops: US Cascade, US Centenniel, US Columbus, US Simcoe
Food Pairing according to O’hare’s Beer Club notes are as follows: Spicy Thai Food, sharp blue cheese
