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

Another quality beer from Southern Tier. This one I don’t believe is quite as light refreshing as the Harvest Ale, but is still quite good. Appearance is sort of a sparkling caramel color with great head formation which fades to a scummy protective coating. Aroma is light and refreshing and hoppy, with a touch of penetrating sharpness like you met get off fresh sweat or from bug repellant. This is a cutting yet fresh aroma. Flavor is light and hoppy and quite nice. Mouthfeel is very much on the light side, but is far from watery or boring. Quite a nice beer. Recommended.

Uninspired weak ale. Not bad but not one I would even bother to elaboarte on.

12 oz bottle - pours a clear gold with a slightly orange hue. There’s a good-sized white cap that coats the inside of the glass. Big grassy, citrusy hop aroma, and a sweet malt undertone. Nice aroma. Flavour is similar, but is kind of one-dimensional. Medium body and a good fruity finish. Very fresh tasting. Nice APA overall, and thanks to my sister for bringing me 6.

Clear and golden. Very smooth and drinkable. Orange peal and a bit sweet. Nothing out of the ordinary but solid basic ale.

Pours golden with a sudsy beige head. The aroma has a pleasant spice, toasted caramel malt and an apple-like fruitiness. Medium crisp body with some decent moderately spicy carbonation. The taste starts off with spicy hops, light berry fruitiness, light malt a touch of wood and hints of oxidation setting in. The finish has light sourness and woody hops. Decent beer.

12 oz bottle. Clear gold color with nice head, decent lacing. Medium body with prickly carbonation. Citrus aroma, but the taste isn’t very bitter. Slightly sweet, slightly lemony. Crisp finish. Decent beer.

Yuck! A fricking lemon beer? Gimme a break. Certified drain pour. Couldn’t even finish 1/2 of it. Nasty, just plain nasty.
