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. Poured golden yellow with a small white head. A nice mix of malt and hops in the aroma. Hops are more defined in the flavor, but not overwhelming. A pretty good beer, nothing extraordinary, but smooth and refreshing.

Golden look with a creamy white head. Nice hop aroma of flowers an grape. Flavor is delicate with some sweet fruity notes and a mild hop bitterness. I vent down fast!

Bottle. Pours a clear light orange with a small ring of white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, crystal malt. dark fruits and raisin. Flavor is very similar with sweet, grainy malt, some dark fruits. Ok, drinkable, but boring. 6/4/6/3/13 Ɠ.2/5)

Bottle. Aroma of green, leafy hops, cracker, bread, maybe a little lemon note. Flavor quite boring with basic grainy malt and dull hop bitterness. Rather high carbonation. Meh.

Bottle @ Brixie’s. Pours dark gold with a white head. Although it wasn’t Extraordinary, it wasn’t a bad APA. Nice aroma of citrus and the hops power through in the flavor as well. It sort of reminded me of Pride & Joy, but not as good. I could see this being a regular beer that you would like to drink though.

Draft at Colter Bay in Buffalo. I thought this was an IPA at first taste, definitely hoppy taste. Goes down pretty easy, kinda leaves a bit to be desired though.

from crackedkettle.com - pours a hazy blond colour with a firm white head; beautiful lacing; powerful aromatic hoppy nose showing some grapefruit and litchies; good malt body and slightly sticky palate, moderate carbonation and fairly bitter; the finish is quite short and dry with a lingering bitterness and fruity notes
