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

Bottle. Clear light amber with a moderate frothy white head. Aroma of honey malts, floral hops and some fruity notes. Off-sweet cereal malt flavor, kind of grassy, with a fair amount of citrus hops. Medium bodied and a bit fizzy. All of the elements are there, but this one seems a little confused and off-kilter. Not terrible, but nothing here which really impresses me.

Nov. 10th ’06. Provided by biznizness in all his extraordinary wisdom and girthiness. Not the best beer in the galaxy I suppose but good enough to make me want some more if I get the chance.

This beer starts with a slightly bitter and astringent aroma, pours a clear amber with just a lacing of head. It’s got a bit of hop in the flavor, but a very thin palate. Overall, a decent session beer.

There is something simple about this beer that is appealing. It has an interesting balance of malt and hops. Something is missing though, and it is far from extraordinary. Besides, it has a jerky name, and a fuckin dumb pseudo-patriotic label. Decent intro to craft beers.

This is a gorgeous looking beer. I liked the look, the aroma, and the palate start to finish. This beer has the feeling of one that has been crafted with care!

12oz bottle. pours golden pale with nice head. aroma is hoppy with nce fruity, spicy, and citrus notes. this APA is well hopped (only 37ibus?) and balanced pretty well. too carbinated, fizzy mouthfeel but rather easy to drink. aftertaste is clean and full. enjoyable, nothing amazing.
