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. Aroma-citrusy piney hops. Slight malt sweetness. Appearance-Light golden color clear. Modest head with some lacing. Flavor- some initial malt sweetness moderate hop flavor. Medium dry bitter finish. Overall- Not bad but there is something in the after taste that I’m not excited about.

JorisPPattyn (7310) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - MAY 14, 2013
Small off-white head, irregular, over clear-golden beer. Sweet-aromatic nose, rosewater & lytchee, amandine. Too sweet smelling for my liking, actually. Very faintly bitterish, but mainly watery flavour. Again rosewater, weak sweetened tea, watermelon, diluted caramel. Feels very spritzy, near fizzy. Weak, light body, watery. What’s so extraordinary about this bottle? The blurb, maybe?

SoberDave (115) - Ontario, CANADA - MAY 12, 2013
Pale yellow colour with a bubbly white head. Aroma is hoppy with a hint of light, summery citrus. Little more than hops and a touch of apricot in the flavour. Seems like a poorly made generic summer ale. Not terribly impressed.

Lowenbrau (1003) - Asturias, Oviedo, SPAIN - MAY 1, 2013
355ml bottle @Lúpulo Feroz, Oviedo. Caramel and toffee aromas. Pours golden-amber, with fast vanishing white head, poor lacing. Ligh to medium body, some crispy texture. Taste is kind of sweet, as the aftertaste.

erickok (2292) - Tours, FRANCE - APR 26, 2013
Golden, clear body with small off white head. Lightly hopped, but a pleasant mix. Citric and appetising. Good medium bitter taste but a bit simple. Could be smoother. I still like it, just expect something accessible. (33cl bottle at Brewberry)

b3shine (2252) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - APR 26, 2013
Draft to taster. Looks okay; light though. A transparent gold with fluffy white head. Smells and tastes of hops and malt witha bit of dough and an average mouthfeel. Unoffensive, but completely forgettable.
