Southern Tier Phin & Matts Extraordinary Ale

Light yellowy gold in colour. Strong smell of hops with a slight compliment of citrus. Hoppy taste, pretty simple. Hoppy and good. A one trick pony that isn’t all that "extraordinary".

Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of orange and lemon citrus hops with spices and notes of pine and sea breeze. Tangy yet light citrus flavor with bitter finish and aftertaste.

Medium golden color, very thin wispy head. Huge fresh hop bouquet. Nice hop flavor with a touch of malty sweetness, but more of a drier ale than a malty one. Need a little more body

12oz bottle, courtesy of drewbeerme. Thanks, Andrew! Pours a clear, medium golden color; enormous, textured off-white head with excellent lacing and retention. Light sugar and lime and citrus bitterness in the aroma. Medium mouthfeel: plenty of citrus hops, sharp carbonation, and a medium malty core holding things together. Not extraordinary, but good. Medium, bitter citrus finish.

Hazy gold with big white head. Fresh and mild hop aroma and citrusy taste, but not extraordinary as the name would indicate. Perhaps a bit of acetaldehyde and diacetyl, but not really out of line. Decent and drinkable, but not substantially more.

Poured a murky orange with a think lacing white head. Very unique aroma. Fruity and sweet candy aromas. Taste is, semi-extraordinary. Malty and sweet, like candy, but also bitter and hoppy. Nice beer, but a little strange honestly. Not quite APA, not quite IPA. Can’t really put your finger on it.

This is a good ale. A little hard to believe that this is an APA. Before logging on after tasting it I could have sworn it was a IPA. Well done.

Really nice golden color, fluffy white head. Got both the malt and hop smells in the nose. Nice balance between the hops and malt. This is a very tasty but non-descript beer. I could drink a large quantity very qucikly and be very happy.
