Extra Special Bitter·United States·5.4% ABV·One of 18 Extra Special Bitters in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers similar to Old Man. Caramel malts, brown sugar and hazelnut sit on a rich base of flavors, with an airy fruitiness and a gentle, earthy noble hop character from Fuggles. The bitterness is light, and the hops are balanced by the fruitiness and the rich base. Old Man is modeled after the traditional ESB and is Tree House's own take on an Extra Special Bitter, a simple beer brewed to 5.4% ABV.
