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

Poured a bland yellow color. Aroma of hops and melons like otherwise stated. Flavor is citrus hops and water, hardly any malt.

12 oz bottle. Poured golden orange in color with a large white head with good lacing. Aroma is of citric hops and lemons. Taste is very lemony, hops, and some sort of weird yeast or spice or something I can’t put my finger on. Body is watery. ummm.... ok?

Jeez, this is heinous. Southern Tier is a great brewery and usually has great products. I found this at Binny’s and nobody knew exactly what it was (it doesn’t say what type of ale it is on the bottle, only that it’s extraordinary). So, I bought a six pack. Pours straw colored with a very thin head. Nose is citrus and cleaning fluid, taste doesn’t taste a lot like beer. Just that heavy, chemical, citrus taste. After a few of them, I realized it was extremely thin and the problem with the beer is a lack of malt. Puzzling, strange, not worth the dough.

May 2007 - Good beer. Orangey pour with good head and lacing. Flavor was a bit one dimensional on citrus hops, but a decent sweetness to balance. Nice smooth mouthfeel though. An easy sipper by the grill...which is where I had it.

12 oz. pours clear and golden with small white head. aroma is zesty with citrus hops. mouthful has citrus up front yielding to some yeast and malt flavors. Enjoyably on the zesty side of the APA.

Pours a crystal clear gold with a bright white head. Citrus and a bit of pine-sol in the nose. Something is fairly odd about this beer. There is a green flavor to this. It is not overwhelming with hops but still their is an organic leafy flavor to it. This has a zesty lemon kick to it. This resembles a cleaning agent more than a APA.

This beer smells like a mix of hops and lemon, and has a very lemony taste. Watery in texture, really, its not that extraordinary.

This nothing amazing. It IS a decent enough light pale ale. Mild citrus hops with a mild semi sweetness to it. Probably a good summer session beer and $3 a 6 cheaper than 3 Floyds.
