I really enjoyed this beer. I must say that it resembles much more of a style that's similar to ESB I do love ESB so I really enjoyed this beer. Oddly enough there extra special bitter or special old bitter as they call it was more like a brown ale crossed with a bitter

Cask conditioned at the pub. Served a little to cold, hazy golden amber with thin head. Very little lacing. Nose a burst of grapefruit over a apricot and toffe malt. The balance works better in the nose than in the mouth where the hopping masks any subtler malt flavour.

Was very bland tasting. It was nearly flat. Contrasted with the stout or honey I could detect more hops, but hardly IPA levels. Disappointed

Taken from notes from a recent trip to Montreal and Vermont.
On tap at Brutopia. Pours a dark, translucent amber color with 1/4 inch of head. Lots of lacing. The aroma is somewhat malty with some spicy and floral hops. Almost a soapy smell. This one has a lot of malt flavor for an IPA. It's malty upfront with some nice floral hop bitterness. Spicy hops at the finish along with the malts. Dry and slick mouthfeel. Overall, a decent malt forward IPA that still has a good amount of hops. Nice change of pace from the usual American IPA.

Served in a pint. Unknown ABV.
A - Amber colour with copper & orange hues. 0.5cm white head reduced to a thin bubbly layer. Lots of lacing.
S - Grapefruit, caramel, hops, floral notes. Good but mild aroma.
T - Caramel malts, citrus/grapefruit, lots of hops in the finish.
M - Medium carbonation, medium body, slightly rustic texture, some stickiness, lasting hoppy aftertaste. Alcohol wasn't detectable but I'd guess it's in the 5%-6% range.
O - Pretty good IPA. Too bad I won't get to try it again any time soon since my trip to Montreal is over.
