Last year's People's Choice champions return in retrofuturistic fashion, promising a cosmic journey of flavour with a beer that embodies the era where love, style, and 64-bit pixelated adventures ruled the roost. Will Atari Baby reign supreme? That's for the people to decide...

A Low Carb beer that just isn't about being low carb, it is about the flavour. It is a Low Carb Pale Ale that has the incredible hop aroma and hop flavour you expect from a typical Epic beer. Luke Nicholas owner/founder of Epic Brewing Company says 'we were shocked when reading that Low Carb beer sales were greater than the total Craft Beer market in New Zealand. On hearing this I could feel the pain of a great number of drinkers who were drinking low carb, but at the cost of a really delicious beer. It was time to help them out, as we did back in 2005 when we helped the whole of the New Zealand beer market with the wonderfully dry hopped Epic Pale Ale'.

After the massive success of Blue Low Carb Pale Ale Epic now have a Hazy joining their low carb family. Crush is a fresh and fruity hazy pale ale with full flavour and 75% less carbs than their Joose Party Hazy Pale Ale.

High Voltage is a hazy IPA that's all about harnessing the energy of two powerhouse hops: Citra and Mosaic. From the first sip, you're hit with a surge of tropical goodness - think juicy mango, ripe pineapple, and a burst of citrus that dances on your tongue. The Mosaic hops add a layer of complexity with subtle berry undertones, while Citra delivers a bright, refreshing citrus punch. High Voltage is more than just a beer; it's a vibrant, electrifying experience that keeps your taste buds buzzing long after the glass is empty.

Hops have taken over the world. Permeated the senses of the minions. Hop Zombies now roam the streets. Lupulin ichor oozing from ravaged legions. Gorging, gouging, masticating. Salivating over insane hop flavours and aromas. The time is nigh. No more festering away in hopless oblivion. Join the Hop Zombie Revolution.

Epic have used an 'Epic' amount of hops as you would expect from them. Epic have the biggest, juiciest, stickiest Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe hops they could find. A blend of T90 and Cryo hops to give the maximum desired aromas and flavours. It's like drizzling freshly squeezed passion fruit, mango and pineapple juice across your tongue. 5.3% alc/vol and a super low bitterness and maximum haze, will keep every Hazy-Head happy with being able to sit down and drink a few from the six pack.

Epic Beer - Kong - 8% Strong Ale.

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.

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.

This APA is driven by the subtropical fruits (including passion fruit & mango) from the Mosaic hops. The massive hop flavour is matched with a subtle level of bitterness.

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.

A refreshingly lively lager with hints of tropical, fruit like notes and a mild bitterness. DB Export 33 has an ABV of 4.6%. This full flavoured lager was launched in 2008 and named 'Best Low Carbohydrate Beer in New Zealand' in 2009 and 2010 at the NZ Beer Awards. It also became the first New Zealand low carb beer to win a Gold medal at the prestigious Monde Selection awards in Belgium in 2010, winning Gold again in 2011.
