If you’ve ever wondered what longtime Source contributor Bob Woodward looks like as a blue-armed deity, you’re in luck. The new Epic Trail Ale label designed by former Source ad guru Aaron Fry, is emblazoned with Woody’s smiling visage. It’s a good fit since 30 percent of all proceeds go to a cause that’s near and dear to Bob’s heart, the Central Oregon Trail Alliance. But don’t buy the beer just because it makes you feel good; the latest edition of the Epic Trail Ale is a smooth drinking, quintessentially spring/summer ale. Dubbed an American wheat beer by Silver Moon, the Epic trail is low gravity, low alcohol with a balanced profile and a crisp finish that’s perfect for washing down a little trail dust.
