Southern Tier Phin & Matts Extraordinary Ale

Bottle. Aroma of green, leafy hops, cracker, bread, maybe a little lemon note. Flavor quite boring with basic grainy malt and dull hop bitterness. Rather high carbonation. Meh.

Bottle @ Brixie’s. Pours dark gold with a white head. Although it wasn’t Extraordinary, it wasn’t a bad APA. Nice aroma of citrus and the hops power through in the flavor as well. It sort of reminded me of Pride & Joy, but not as good. I could see this being a regular beer that you would like to drink though.

Draft at Colter Bay in Buffalo. I thought this was an IPA at first taste, definitely hoppy taste. Goes down pretty easy, kinda leaves a bit to be desired though.

from crackedkettle.com - pours a hazy blond colour with a firm white head; beautiful lacing; powerful aromatic hoppy nose showing some grapefruit and litchies; good malt body and slightly sticky palate, moderate carbonation and fairly bitter; the finish is quite short and dry with a lingering bitterness and fruity notes

A unique pale with a good bit of smooth fruit flavor to it with a dry hop finish. I like it, but something seems to be missing, like a meal that could use that extra dash of salt to bring it all out.

It is yellow-golden with a white, creamy head. The aroma is mild and nice with notes of fruit, citrus and light malt. The flavour has a light sweetness and it is mild, but still it has loads of fruit, citrus/grapefruit and spruce notes with a dry finish. It’s delicious and refreshing.

Can we rename this "Phin & Matt’s ’Pretty Good’ Ale?" It is hardly extraordinary by any stretch of the imagination, but it is pretty good. Slightly hoppy, some citrus notes. Very drinkable, but very thin. Middle of the road.
