I do love writing about beer, but it doesn’t exactly pay the bills. Not so far anyway. And so, like most beer enthusiasts, I have a day job. It just so happens that my day job is at the very awesome Orcon.
And it just so happens that Richard, a like-minded team mate, suggested that Orcon should do an Awesome beer; with none other than our local hop-head, Luke Nicholas of Epic.
I guess the powers-that-be liked the idea because the next minute we were hanging out with Luke at Steam, laying down a mash, designing a killer label, and making a youtube video about it. I gotta say, we had a great time, and I reckon we’ve done a pretty good job on the beer too.
Epic Orcon Pale Ale pours a bright golden hue and just a little white head. The subtle aroma of passionfruit greets you and from the first sip, caramel malt characters fade out to a bitter hop finish. The mouthfeel is velvety with just a hint of effervescence to remind you it’s there.
At 5.6%, Epic Orcon ale makes for a refreshing session beer, perfect for a late night gaming session or just a quiet afternoon, you know, checking Facebook.
Epic Orcon Ale wants to be your friend – you should totally accept this request.
