Burton Bridge Empire Ale

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

Malt aroma with some fruity esters also had some hop aroma in the finish. Orange amber color that was hazy with a light tan and full head. Good malt and hop bitterness with some fruity flavors. Has a slight dry metallic finish. It aslo had a typical english flavor ale yeast aftertaste. Overall a good IPA but I would've never guessed the alc was 7.5% it was hidden very well in the flavors of the beer.

Murky golden orange body with a small egg shell head. More of a sweet fruity malt aroma with a bit of fading citrusy hops in the background. Flavor was different very yeasty and bitter slightly spicey. Good malt body with a dry metalic finish that tends to linger. Decent brew.

cloudy orange, big white head. flowery hop nose with a belgian yeasty aroma. a very fun take on an ipa with big orange citrus notes, yeast, and huge bitterness.

cloudy orangish color with a HUGE head. slightly hoppy, floral nose. floral taste with a srong hint of alcohol. has a soapy aftertaste

The Original IPA, yeah they invented the style. The pour is a little funny, it sounded like a soda pop all cracklin' and the head had tiny little bubles that fizzed for a bit. It called down and actually maintained some of the head quite well. The aroma is sweet but sour fruits, sour cherries, apples, pears, and peaches (?). Tastes like stewed cherries and apples with minimal spices mostly warm subdued fruit flavors. This to me, doesn't taste like a Pale Ale thats bigger with more hops it just tastes like a pale ale with different hops, it's not big at all. Quite drinkable and refreshing. The mouthfeel is a touch too thin and this beer lacks a "wow" factor but it's by no means bad it's just average-good really.

Bottle. A huge off-white head that was creamy and smooth and contained fine-medium sized bubbles that were mostly lasting. The body was softly carbonated and somewhat cloudy with an orange brown hue. The aroma was malty, hoppy and sweet and fruity. The flavor was hoppy and quite malty. The mouthfeel was smooth. This was a medium bodied beer with decent lacing.

This bottled brew poured a very large sized head of foamy fine to medium sized long lasting off-white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body was a hazy uncarbonated yellow orange brown color and the aroma was mild with malt and bitter hop notes. The mouth feel was tingly yet smooth missing the typical strong hop bite of an IPA. The flavor still has the hoppyness of an IPA, but it is just more subdued with a hint of caramel malt in it. All in all it was rather enjoyable for an IPA.

this poured with a huge head, and it's held. the color is pretty hazy, it's a sunlight gold color. the aroma = layers of hops, piercing bitter hops, it smells very green, on initial pour there was oats, orange pulp, and maple(?) pretty resiny. taste = the orange and hop flavors fade into a mildly toasty malt flavor then a quite dry finish.
