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

Amber body, white head, sweet but citric nose. Nicely balanced sweet malts and American hops, good stuff.

12 oz bottle. Almost clear gold with a thin white head. Sweet nose of cookie, caramel and orange citrus. Flavor is more of the same, with the citrus flavor coming to the fore. Medium bodied. The malt seems to weigh down in the finish a bit, and a quirky apple note is present. Interesting beer.

Bottle. Burnt amber in color with a thick white head. A very complex flavor for the style, with a great mix of hoppy bite with a smooth compliment of malty smoothness. Light citrus with a touch of sweetness. Very good.

CONSISTANTLY GOOD. NICE HOP NUTTY AND PINEY TASTE. CITRUS AS WELL. WATERY... BUT IN A GOOD WAY. THIN MALT BACKROUND WHICH IS SWEETISH AND MESHES WELL. THIS CREATS THAT FLORAL BOUQUET. A LITTLE BITE WITHOUT BEING STICKY.

Bottle: bought on my trip to Kalamazoo. Pours a clear amber color with a foamy white head. Just from sitting at my computer, the aroma is wafting over with nice hop note, pine needles, grapefruit. Let’s go in for closer smell. Nice big hop notes, with a lightly spiced scent to it. Flavor is decent. The nose is a lot better than the actual taste. Lightly bitter hops, grapefruit, and some acidity. Palate is lightly dry, somewhat bitter, and rather short. Overall, It’s a decent APA, not the top tier if you know what I mean....lol.

Golden color with great aroma. Sweet citrus taste. Slightly bitter finish. Also sampled at Craft beer fest. Bought a case the next day.

Extraordinary? More like, "Extra-ordinary!" Oh, snap! Um, anyway, this is the definition of a one-dimensional APA. Smells fantastic with the citrus, iced tea and hop notes, but it’s simply dry, thin, and lacking the malt backbone to support it.
