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

12 oz bottle from Shadey. Amber color. No real aroma. Flavor is fairly typical for this style. Lightly hopped, clean, refreshing, easy drinking. Not bad, but nothing here stands out.

Brownish color, no head. Smell is sweet and grassy with a little bit of a hop flavor. Taste is fruity and refreshing. Something is weird tasting, but I do not know what it is. Not a bad beer, but damn, give me Sierra Nevada.

Red-amber; small, frothy, white head; head becomes a small ring but can be brought back briefly with some moderate swirling. Grassy, earthy, piney hops in the nose; light caramel. Flavor is largely hoppy; some apple is hidden in there as well. Medium-thin body; medium carbonation. Overall, quite solid.

Clear amber/orange with a small head. Aroma of orange and pine. Taste is heavily orange-citrus. A little caramel. Nice. Light to medium body. Nicely bitter ending.

Draft at KClinger’s. Textbook amber beer with a thin sticky top. Well hopped ... oily, resiny, piney. Vicscuous! Excellent hoppy little ale. (#2653, 1/14/07) <<Re-rate from bottle ... light golden amber, thin but resilient head. Nicely flavored beer, despite a lack of aroma. Very corn-flakey flavor, but nicely rounded, oily. Nice.
