Epic (New Zealand) Armageddon IPA


Epic Armageddon IPA, All the Way from New Zealand. 6.66% ABV. Product of New Zealand, brewed and bottled by Epic Brewing Company, Auckland, New Zealand.

Very clear, light amber coloring, nice off-white head, solid and staying.

Aroma: very vibrant and lively. Tons of pine and citrus flavors, orange and lemon and lime. Grapefruit, too. Floral, as well. Beautiful stuff.

Taste: boom! Hops all over the palate, zesty and delicious. Lighter body, fairly mild, leaving plenty of room for hops to do their thing. Long bitter hop finish, medium body, but full hoppy flavor. Mmm. Quite good. 

Finally, at long last, an American IPA out of New Zealand. Next, I want one from North Dakota.
