What?! A beer that is both LOW CARB, and FULL of flavour? AND MADE BY EPIC?! When we noticed the increasing popularity of Low Carb beers we knew we needed to try and make the world a better place with beer. We're happy to announce that we have done it! Bringing the big hop aroma and flavour the Epic is renowned for, to a beer that is both low card and tasty. You can thank us later.

At a low 4.8% it's light, has a dry finish & is less filling but leaves just enough hop intensity to coat your tongue with deliciousness.

As far as we know this could be the first craft low carb beer in the market and we have had it professionally tested to reveal it has less than half the carbs of Epic Pale Ale!
