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

Pours a hazy golden orange color with slight yellowish hues when held to a light source and a 1.5 finger foamy white head that quickly dissipates into a thin ring. Not much in the way of lacing. Very faint floral hop aroma with some citrus notes and a caramel malt backbone. Very bland. Once again the flavor is bland and uninspiring. Watered down and thin bodied with subtle floral and citrus hops and a caramel malt backbone. This beer is well balanced but is pretty boring with not much interesting going on. The hops are not very bitter and only have a slight touch of citrus fruit. A pretty drinkable session beer but I wouldn’t seek it out again.

Medium amber color with a decent foamy head. Spicy flowery hops aroma. Flavor is fruity hops with a hit of spicy sweet malt. Lightly bitter finish accompanies a palate that feels like medium but still comes across as a bit watery. Not bad just seems lacking in a few key areas.

Bottle. Poured golden yellow with a small white head. A nice mix of malt and hops in the aroma. Hops are more defined in the flavor, but not overwhelming. A pretty good beer, nothing extraordinary, but smooth and refreshing.
