Picture this: a brainstorming session for a hazy beer, and the sky's the limit. They glance out, and there it is - a canvas of billowing clouds against a brilliant summer sky. Then, it hits them: they've got a plane in the Taproom, a bird that once soared through those very clouds. Now, for the fun part. They christen it 'OTTO pilot' (cue the 'Airplane' movie reference). And, of course, there's a nod to Brucey, their hippy accomplice who helped them snag the ex-Air Chathams Convair 580 (ZK-CIE). The label? It's not just a label; it's a narrative woven with humour and a touch of airborne adventure. This hazy marvel, with its cloudy allure, packs a punch of passionfruit and pineapple juiciness. Here's the twist-no actual fruit, just the wizardry of Mosaic and Citra hops, unleashing their aromatic prowess. Expect nothing less than a solid hazy IPA from Epic, because, let's be real, we know you'll fall head over heels for this one. Buckle up, beer enthusiasts, and prepare for a flavor takeoff like no other!

A classic label indicates this classic expression of this version of an IPA. It's been a long time since Epic made an IPA using the classic C hops of Chinook, Cascade and Centennial, balanced with a touch of sweet crystal malt, that delivers a slightly richer colour, and a more obvious sweeter, malty note which marries perfectly with the grapefruit and piney notes from the hops. Its like stepping back in time with the way the original IPA's use to be.

All you need for an EPIC weekend! The Epic Mixed Six features six of the best from Epic Brewing Company. The latest Mixed Six contains a selection of the freshest 6x330ml cans of Epic beer.

Stay Frosty - Cold IPA is a chill brew. One where you can just relax and enjoy life. A carefully contemplated sip will take you on a wonderful journey of flavours that will satisfy any IPA drinker. Warm fermented with a lager yeast, and dry hopped early in fermentation helps deliver the unique yet highly satisfying flavours from the Mosaic, Simcoe and Citra hops. Very pale colour, light body, dry and bitter finish and explosion of hop flavours. Take a sip. Close your eyes and say Aaaahhhhhh.

Tilt is a term used in playing pinball. It is when you have hit the table/flipper too hard. Which could be the same said for this hazy IPA when it hits your palate, it will tilt your mind with the hop flavour hit from the El Dorado hops. El Dorado is known for delivering a big pineapple and tropical fruit flavours. Chinook also gives hints of pineapple too, and Mosaic is just an around fruit bomb of a hop. So prepare yourself for a tilted flavour experience.
