Commercial Description:
When Phin and Matt sat down to collaborate on their new beer, they knew it had to be different if they were to call it extraordinary. "Let sprinkle it with fairy dust and wave our magic wands," said Phin. "No way," said Matt, "We've got to do better than that. This beer has to be better than any other in the galaxy." "Let's do some market research." So the two strapped on their rocket pack packs and traveled to the intergalactic beer store. After sampling an array of beers from acrossed the galaxy, the duo hit on an idea. "I've got it" exclaimed Matt, "we'll use vast amounts of whole hops, the finest malt, and put a little more love in every batch." "Eureka!" shouted Phin. And thus became a beer so fresh and tasty the duo put their names on it. 37 IBU's, 5.6% ABV

Bottle, bought @ Ĝlbutikken, Cph.
Pours golden with a good deal of bubbles reaching towards a firm, creamy, white head. Grapefruity aroma, good deal of aroma hops, some caramel sweetness behind it. Lowish carbonation, fine, dry mouthfeel. Flavour is nicely hoppy, very dry. Some caramel and bready malts with just a hint of liqourice. Very refreshing. Nice.

An immaculate example of freedom versus subculture all present in a mild pale ale. I couldnt quite place the abundance of solitude within but could muster the courage to finish the brew.

Bottle - Pours a pale golden amber in color with almost no head and very little carbonation. Aroma has some flowery hops and some malty sweetness. Flavor is a bit more hoppy, but the initial taste is slightly sweet rather than hop bitter. The hops win out in the finish, which is fairly lingering and bitter. Flavor is a bit washed out. OK, not that great...

35,5cl bottle @ HJHansen, Odense. Pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head and lacings. Nose is fresh of hops. Grapefruit and pine. Medium and smooth palate. Taste is grassy and peachy hops with a fine malty bready balance. Crisp and quenching. A Very pleasant and drinkable pale ale.

Bottle. Lemon and a touch of oily, flowery hops in the aroma. Lemon and pineapple in the soft but steady hopbitter flavor. Some malty sweetness. Good balance and drinkability.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small and lacing white head. Aroma is hoppy wooden, pinewood and mild peachy. Flavour has the same yet with a more pronounced citrusy hops note and a light yet sweet malt base. Lasting peachy and sweet finish.

12 oz. Bottle. Pours a clear golden-orange with an average rocky white head that leaves good lacing on the glass. Nice piney and citrus hop aroma. Some malt. Initial flavor is sweet malty goodness followed by a citrusy, tangerine-like hop character. A light to medium body with a medium dry finish. Very drinkable.
