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

12oz bottle. This is a mild tasting, not overly bitter pale ale. The finish is lacking a bit. There is nothing extreme about this brew, so it can make a good session beer for some people out there.

Pours a golden amber color. Aroma is hoppy, with touches of orange. The flavor is hoppy, with a smooth, clean taste to it.

12oz bottle - Poured a golden brass color with small head. Nose is grassy and mostly hops. Mouthfeel is soapy with a metalic taste. Really not a big fan of this brew, not horrible but not a great pale ale either. They should call it Average Ale.

[851-20071123] 341mL. Fruity orange hops aroma with a hint of sweet lychee. Clear, orange brown body with a long-lasting foamy white head. Nice hoppy orange lychee continues in the flavour with a bit of yeast. Medium body has a bitter finish though is slightly thinner than expected. Nicely balanced and very drinkable, could even stand some more bitterness.

Considering its fruity and slightly sweet flavor, I love this beer. Am I tasting a hint of apricot? Tasty and different.

Bottle. (RBNAG 07) Clear, golden body with a white head. Piney nose, some malts as well, but the aroma should be more pronounced. Nice hoppyness in the flavor, fruity and piney and bitter, with some malts to balance it. Meidum body. Hop-bitter and fruity finish with some tropical fruits. A nice and quaffable beer that needs a heavier aroma. (071103)

Gold color with a decent amount of head formation. Sweet aroma with considerable hop scent mixed in. Grainy flavor. A bit of hop bitterness with some citrus and earthy flavors. Fairly unenjoyable to me.
