Reminded my of Sierra Nevada Celebration.<BR/><BR/>I think the Maximus was prtty tidy - perhaps even more drinkable than the Armageddon - but it suffered a little for the slightly flabby NZ malt...

Can it possibly beat Epic Mayhem? I'll have to get down to the Malthouse... might sample the Hallertau too :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279188472735256079noreply@blogger.com
