*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.

Bottle at the Euston Tap, London. Pours a clear pale amber colour with a small white head. Hoppy and citrus grapefruit aroma. Medium body. Very crisp and clean on the palate. Slight bitterness to finish. Much enjoyed after what had been a long train journey.

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?

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled in July 2012. Pours lightly hazy golden amber color with a 1 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, orange zest, pine, pineapple, bread, grass, herbal, and floral. Pretty nice aromas with good balance and decent strength. Taste of pineapple, grapefruit, orange zest, floral, grass, pine, bread, and herbal. Light crisp bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, pineapple, grass, pine, herbal, floral, and bread on the finish for a short bit. Nice balance of flavors, with a good hop/malt balance; a bit watery but still tasty; no cloying flavors at all on the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very crisp and clean mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with nearly zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a nice pale ale. Good hop flavor profile with nice balance; extremely crisp and smooth to drink. An enjoyable and sessionable offering I would have no problem getting again.

Very slight haze on this amber beer.Frothy white head. Smooth semi dry palate. Light tasty hops. Grassy grapefruit with a little hop spice. Streak of orange underneath. Finishes crisp with fruity grapefruit. Zesty and refreshing.
