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. (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.

355ml bottle @ RBNAG’07. Clear golden body with a fine creamy off-white head. Aroma is very fresh, citrus, hay and peaches. Flavor is aromatic hoppy, a certain degree of sourness and well balanced bitter. It’s a nice beer, but I’m not to sure how extraordinary it really is after all. A bit thin body.

Poured amber with an average creamy white had that was lasting. Good hoppy aroma. Medium body with good hop flavor with a medium bitter finish. Very drinkable beer.

very floral, bitter hop with a trace of malt near the end, letting it warm so get a better flavor,

Draft at Dewey’s Pizza in Kenwood. Clear light amber color, sweet aroma with strong pine notes, minimal head with no lacing, thin body, slight edge to the hops on the flavor balance sheet, tangy hop finish. Seems a little weak at first but flavor improves as the glass warms. No, Phin and Matt, it ain’t extrordinary. It’s decent, though.
