Yea, really amazing. Is it the batch we're getting soon?

And while I have not had Ruth, I can see that it could have a similar combination of rich malt and hopp...

Not really sure what's going on, but this is the beer I mean:

X Ale: on draft at Albion brewpub in Joliette, QC, brewed to an 1830 London recipe. This blew away almost every beer I've had in the last year. A great beer with emphatic flowery hopping yet rich at a fairly low attenuation, English-tasting in the best possible way. The Albion, housed in a charming...
