United KingdomDescription
Found as a chance seedling in 1987 and grown as an ornamental garden plant until 2004, Epic was expanded for commercial production in winter 2014-2015. The history of the field, combined with the oil composition of Epic, strongly suggests that the lineage includes Alliance hops.
Epic is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping.
Early brewing with the Epic hop indicates medium intensity, deep fruit and berry-like aromas without any citrus or floral notes. Epic is an excellent late aroma hop. Well balanced, rounded, mild and fruity when used in bittering addition.
