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

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.

Very floral and generally sweet, slightly metallic, with light bitterness. Very drinkable but not challengng or as serious as many of their others. Rater bland.

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.

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.
