Iron Maiden Trooper - Ale

Heavy metal and beer have always had a special connection, Robinson's Trooper is the sum of sheer awesomeness and a creation of hops, malt and metal.

After Motörhead, the legendary band Iron Maiden now also has a beer. The brewers at Robinsons Brewery have teamed up with Bruce Dickinson from the band Iron Maiden to create a beer inspired by the great song "Charge of the Light Brigade".

The three fantastic hop varieties Goldings, Bobek and Cascade give the beer a wide range of fresh citrus notes, while the malt forms a stable base.

Iron Maiden's Trooper flows into the glass in a clear, transparent amber gold and shimmers in a magnificent copper hue. A stream of fine pearls flies incessantly from the bottom of the glass to the surface, making the small, beige layer of foam dance. The classic aroma of a typical English ale is accompanied by fine notes of buttery caramel, fresh citrus fruits and fragrant hay. On the tongue, the Trooper is incredibly drinkable and light on its feet. Aromas of spicy yeast, buttered toast, freshly mown grass and bitter hops unfold on a lightly roasted, caramel base of full-bodied malt. Juicy notes of fresh citrus fruits permeate the drinking experience and lend the beer additional lightness.

Trooper is a subtly balanced ale that doesn't just taste good when you're listening to the heavy sounds of Iron Maiden.
