This reviewer is happy to concede that he’s been stuck in the “haze craze”. Suddenly (and happily) I’ve been jolted back to reality by a beauty of a beer from the past! Originally brewed in 2017, Epic Magic Dust, first brewed in 2017 and modelled on the Mosaic One Trick Pony, has made a comeback and I couldn’t be happier! None of the sweet, juicy stuff to be found here; you’re greeted by a rich, translucent copper colour that gleams in the glass. Lupulin powder is the “magic dust” that adds to the flavour … it’s sticky, dank and oh so bitter! Some may argue that 45 IBU’s is low, however team at Epic Brewing have made this “One Trick Pony” oh so relevant again.
