Epic Beers

I have recently enjoyed trying a few of Epic's beers for Salt Lake City, Utah . I highly recommend these three to anyone with a passion for interesting, well made beer.

Spiral Jetty IPA, is a member of Epic's classic series range. It was far less hopped than I was expecting for a an IPA. It tasted much more like a good pale ale with body and weight similar to Anchor. Delicious and refreshing on a warm spring day.

The Brainless Belgian Style Golden Ale from the Elevated Series had a delicious aromatic mix of fruity hops and floral goodness. It went very well alongside mussels and frites.

The Copper Cone Pale Ale was my favorite. It really does have a very copper tone. There is lots going on in this, initially a subtle expression of fruit that develops into something more malted finishing with notes of roasted coffee. If you had your eyes closed you might think you're drinking a light porter.
