Summed up perfectly well. Though Luke's probably a bit modest and his own harshest critic... It was delicious!

The beer wasn't in the best condition, and finings didn't work possible due to the long journey and temperature fluctuation through Dubai, Thailand and Singapore.<br />
<br />
Also for me it wasn't an ideal situation (presenting to a group of 20 people) to be able to make any formal notes. But over all the beer was pretty awesome, great bitterness, and balance, with good hop flavour. Wish I had been able to try it in optimum condition in the UK from the cask.

Luke needs to explain "Pete" and " Melissa" coz I think its a great idea and people need to know! Each of the beers in tonights tasting were awesome. I feel priviledged to get to try em! Get in to the malthouse quick and you might get a sneak preview of this this years armageddon.

I should say, the Hallertau beer has had a week or two more than the Epic one - <a href="http://epicbeer.com/blog/labels/ipa.html">http://epicbeer.com/blog/labels/ipa.html</a>. Plenty of time for those beers to mature. Mmmm. Too bad I'll be in the US for the event :(<br />

Yay! Awesome event, thanks to Luke and Colin! Oysters too (though made me want to drink a stout). Pics at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/glynnfoster">http://www.flickr.com/glynnfoster</a>. Not being on 3G sucks for live updates! Yes, the beers were great. Warmed up on Tuatara Pale Ale, then had an Epic Pale Ale for comparison through the tasting. Will be interesting to see the evolution of introduction of MO in Epic - think it adds something special, says pasty Irish white boy. Halltertau tops…
