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

Modest-head, golden clear--like a lager--but very malty. Hops on the back-end, but not that kind of snap that would have made me say, More!"

Poured gold with a thin white head. Aroma is hops and citrus. Flavor is up front hops, with citrus, grain, and some light graininess and honey. Finishes smooth, easy drinking. Nicely carbonated.

355 ml bottle, RBNAG07. Yellowish golden colour. Crystal clear. Tall fine-laced off-white head that clings to the glass. Strong carrot-like aroma that comes from the hops. More of the same in the flavour.

Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Pours a light amber color with a very thin head. Hops hit you first from the aroma, but it then evolves into a very sweet, honey/grapey aroma. Taste is odd. Hops and malts are very well balanced but not strong enough. Pretty straighforward pale ale.

Pours lightly hazy gold with a two-finger white head. Smells like an APA, tastes like an APA: soapy, piney hops and sweet, bready malt. Quick, snappy finish make this one a great refresher.

Clear golden color with a minimal white head. Mild aroma of citrus and hops. Taste of citrus and hops. More sweet than bitter. Needs a little something but very satisfying.

pours a dark gold with a one finger off white head. aroma is malt and very nice citrus hops. has a light to medium body with descent lacing and good carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger. has a nice little dry hop aftertaste and very clean all around. a little bit thin but very nice for an apa.

After having several of there beers(Hoppe, Unearthly, Chokalot, I sure expected alot from a name like this. 12 oz. bottle pours clear copperish with medium size white head. Aroma is a little toasty and minerally floral. Well balanced so much it is a little boring. Some toasty notes and some alnced hop spice. Finishes dry. Alittle disappointing with such high expectations
