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

From a bottle, pours clear copper. Hints of piney hops, and caramel in the aroma. Same Flavors as the aroma. Decent pale ale.

Pours a mostly translucent golden amber with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of up front orange/citrus, fresh hops, light pine, doughy, caramel malt, various other fruity notes and lightly floral. Flavor of American hops, lots of citrus (orange is the most up front), bready, caramel and some light hop bitterness. Very nice American Pale Ale. Great beer to introduce folks to fine American Craft Beer.

Pours clear golden with a huge pillow white head. Sweet apple aroma with some fresh hops. Very sweet apple like flavor. Doughy malts, yeasty. Nice light/medium sparkling mouthful. More than just ordinary. Closer to a golden or blonde.

Found this one bottled at Woodman’s in North Aurora, Illinois. Potent and unique among APAs, this beer is an intense fruity nose. Apricots and apples are pronounced. Bitterness in the taste followed with a complex flavor with lots of citrus, fruit, and a bit of alcohol. Strong finish. This is unusual and very different, and I like it.

Draft at Caverty’s in Rochester, NY. A clean, impressive offering from Southern Tier. Slightly hoppy, but lighter than their other beers. A great introduction to Southern Tier. Smooth and refreshing.

Bottle... Pale gold in color with a HUGE white head. Too overwhelming. Aroma of grasses and peaches. Flavor or bitter grasses, hops, and some fruitiness. A nice beer, but doesn’t compare to their IPA.

clear amber body with just a hint of head. Apply aroma with malt and orange/citrus. There is a malty flavor, but not much of the citrus or apple that was on the nose.

Quite a lovely beer. I feel like saying Hey baby, nice hops! from what I can tell, alcohol is added to this beverage during the "brewing" process, which makes it even better.
