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

355ml bottle @ RBNAG’07. Clear golden body with a fine creamy off-white head. Aroma is very fresh, citrus, hay and peaches. Flavor is aromatic hoppy, a certain degree of sourness and well balanced bitter. It’s a nice beer, but I’m not to sure how extraordinary it really is after all. A bit thin body.

Poured amber with an average creamy white had that was lasting. Good hoppy aroma. Medium body with good hop flavor with a medium bitter finish. Very drinkable beer.

Draft at Dewey’s Pizza in Kenwood. Clear light amber color, sweet aroma with strong pine notes, minimal head with no lacing, thin body, slight edge to the hops on the flavor balance sheet, tangy hop finish. Seems a little weak at first but flavor improves as the glass warms. No, Phin and Matt, it ain’t extrordinary. It’s decent, though.

I liked these balance. Not too hoppy, with gentle floral aroma and clean finish. The color is a light amber that understates the flvor and palatte. Not totally clear. Palatte was excellent with areletively light body, hint of oily character that dissappears quickly to a quenching finish

Floral hops mixed in a light caramel soup,actually a very attractive aroma, Taste is strangely light, given that full fragrance,a light bitter hop tastedominates with a hint of caramel backing,which settles how to just hop bitterness, aftertaste is fine,would make a nice session beer
