Bottle from CapedBrewsader, I still don’t know if Phil is a Marvel Hero or a DC one, I want to know if its the basic superman thing or something more complex, I hope for the complex but understad the trite. Pours ornage with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and hoppy, and I don’t know if the style is accurate but I don’t know what it will take to make it something clearer. Taste is sweet and hoppy, with pine and niceness.
