*Formerly PMX* - To label a beer as extraordinary is to have complete trust in its ingredients. Crystal filtered artesian water, whole hops, and the choicest malted barley create this American-style pale ale. The character of American pale ales varies from region to region and is dependent upon the ingredients used. In Phin
& Matt’s, one can expect harmony between malt and hops without dominating tastes of sweet
or bitter.

Keg at Brewdog Camden. Pale blond colour with small thin white head. Just a touch of cloudiness. Not much aroma, touch of fruit, bit of malty creaminess. Taste is much better, biscuity malt, a strange fruitiness that I can't put my finger on, maybe a berry or something. Very crisp finish. One that really grew on me the further down the glass I went. Pretty damn nice.

I got this in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks John!
This pours a clear amber gold with a 2 finger head of foam. It turns slightly hazy when I poured the rest in my glass. Nice head retention and there's some good lacing.
The smell is very malty with notes of caramel and biscuit. I have to really try to get any hop character from it but it's there...a little bit of orange citrus.
The taste is big on the biscuit with some roasted notes and some hoppy citrus by way of orange, pine, and a touch of grapefruit. Overall, the flavours are kind of unusual but they work pretty well together and I could see myself drinking more than 1 at a sitting.
Mouthfeel is medium and the carbonation is lightish. A good APA here with the hops definitely playing second fiddle for me so it's almost more of an English PA to my tastes.

12 ounce bottle. Amber orange color topped by a rocky white head and amazing lacing. Fruity malt nose hints at Valencia oranges. Some light caramel as well. Crisp, tangy malt notes. Hints of orange and brioche. Light dry hop finish has grassy hop notes. Well balanced ad easy drinking.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a soft copper color with a slight transparency about it. Carbonation could be seen rising at a good pace. Just a cap of a little white foamy swiftly dies off. Stringy lace.
The aroma had some soupy sweet fruity hops, slightly bitter, but having a balancing malt bill.
The flavor was moderately sweet through the blend. Caramel malts sturdy themselves a bit further down the lane to follow through on the aftertaste and ride into the finish.
The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, pretty good APA, a bit old school, but I’d have again.
