Commercial Description:
Bottled - Pasteurised, 500ml.

With it’s pale appearance, strong hoppy taste and higher alcoholic strength Marston’s Old Empire comprises all the genuine characteristics of a true India Pale Ale, which were necessary to last the 3 month long journey from Burton to Bombay.
Old Empire is brewed using Optic malt, a subtle and paler grain that will allow other flavours to come through on the palate. Goldings and Fuggles hops are added to this brew, which is then late hopped with the American Cascade variety for extra hop strength.

Pours a yellow/orange with a small white head. Aroma is skunky, some caramel, biscuity malt, grass, and a little grapefruit rind. Tastes like biscuity malt, caramel, grass, grapefruit, honey. This IPA needs to go to the gym to get some muscle.

Trots sin ganska enkla smak är det rejält med krut i ölen. Beskan träder fram och ger den en ordentlig karaktär som dröjer kvar länge i munnen.
