Burton Bridge Empire Ale

Brewed by Burton Bridge
Style: English Strong Ale
Burton-on-Trent, England

Exceptionally carbonated. Hazy yellow orange pour with a rocky white head and champagne CO2. Nice aromas of earthy hops and oak spice. The beer just danaces on the palate as layers of malt fruit and bittering hops balance each other out to the classic, snappy, minerally finish.

big head, the hops are subtle at first, taste of orange peel, after each taste tho it gets more hoppy and bitter and bad taste i just want to spit after every taste. a big ish dont think so

didnt like it. pours with a foamy ass head kinda looks like tamarindo goya fruity smell not too hoppy taste like bread a little bitter and alcohol.

Pours like an American DIPA, murky, yeast laden and particulate heavy, golden/copper with a tan & creamy head that left rocky lacing. Sweetly hopped aroma with biscuity notes, fruity rye and an alcohol hit. Thick & buttery mouthfeel, raspberry fruitiness with tea and pumpernickel. A nice EPA, sessionable and worth further investigation.

500ml bottle-pours a big, 2+ finger foamy to rocky offwhite head with hazy yellow/orange color. Aroma is hops, grassy, musty, citrus, floral. Taste is bitter-no citrus, slightly tart, medium body, malt, , woodiness, alcohol. RB has style as English Stong Ale, even though the label has IPA. English Stong Ale IS the taste of this beer. Enjoyable for one and then moving along to something else.

From a 500ml. shaped narrow neck brown bottle with a blurb about the IPA on the front label and no freshness date. Made a good appearance, poured a hazy, semi-cloudy red and orange hued golden with a billowy, frothy, rocky, clingy white head with good retention, good carbonation. Had a delicious aroma, a sweet lemony and tropical fruit, a little woodiness and a grainy, caramel maltiness. A crisp, chewy lightish medium bodied mouth feel, very good drinkability. Very tasty, a sour lemon/fruity at first followed by a faint cask woodiness and a sweet graininess and a dry, crisp hoppy and grainy finish, with a lingering warm alcohol presence in the palate.

[bottle from beers of europe] Aroma is earthy, dusty yeast, some sharp acidic fruit - apples and some citric notes. Body is on the thin side, finish is tart and slightly bitter. strange stuff but not entirely unpleasant.

Aroma is slightly sour, almost lambic like with alot of grassy/peppery hops. Taste is almost triple like but with a sharpness off the acidity, and very very yeasty. Intresting different beer.
