Commercial Description:
We love one-upmanship. Not to be outdone, we took a perfectly good English-style Extra Special Bitter and well… made it better. English malt gives this beer a smooth and bready character. American hops lend Happy Jack a nice spicy hop flavor. We also used this same blend of hops to dry-hop this beer in the English tradition. 5.5% ABV 40 IBU O.G. 14º Plato Featuring Marris Otter malt, Northern Brewer and Centennial hops.

I think this was the Bitter that I had. It was on tap at the airport location about 2 months ago. Poured a burnt orange color. Aroma was pretty hoppy with notes of citrus that were stronger than their IPA. Very dry hoppy flavor with some toasty malt, but this was pretty hop dominated. Citrus, pine, and wood made an appearance in the flavor profile. Finishes dry with a lingering woody flavor. Interesting and pretty damn good.
