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. Pours dark gold with a nice, long lasting, fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet citrus hops. Taste is sweet malt, subdued citrus hops, with a mild bitterness on the finish. Nice drinkable take on the style.

Bottle from the mixpack, good not great. A decent easy to drink ale that could be a little heavier on the hops in my opinion.

Pous a deep gold colour with a frothy white head that dimples as it fades. Impressions of tropical citrus and honey-sweet malts.The flavour is fresh, crisp and bready with overtones of citric and spruce-like bitterness. The yeast imparts spicy flavours to accompany the bready, citric flavours. The flavour profile is a little on the weak and plain side. I don’t really know why it’s called extrordinary ale, as it’s pretty uninspired and weak. It’s balanced, but not intense or different. The palate is medium bodied, slightly oily, and mildly carbonated with a dry, short finish.

Bottle courtesy of GMCC2181. Pours a dark gold with one finger white head and nice lacing. Nose is sweet malts and citrus. Palate is grass, mild citrus and malt, with a dry mild finish. Medium mouth feel. Too mellow for an American Pale Ale for my tastes. Glad I was able to try it though – thanks Gabe!

3/14/08 (bottle from Bram. Very light aroma, I suppose a little hops and a little grass, but that’s about it. Taste is similar: it definitely is a close relative of an amber, maybe Rogue’s American Amber watered down. Drinkable, but certainly not superior. I am secretly hoping this is the weakest S.T. offering I try.

golden copper color, not much head, strong hoppiness tase and aroma, quite boring, taste goes away very quickly.

The sweet, hoppy aroma saturates the nose. Brass brew without much head. Pretty unappealing label. This is a dry, flavorful pale ale - crisp, peppy hops and mild malt. A little light on the palate.

Looks boring, smells great, tastes great. Beautifully balanced hoppy APA with nice lightish malt backbone and a refreshing fruitiness.
