IRON MAIDEN vocalist and ale aficionado Bruce Dickinson and Robinsons’ Head Brewer, Martyn Weeks have crafted LIGHT BRIGADE a unique interpretation of a sessionable golden ale. At 4.1% ABV in 500ml bottle, LIGHT BRIGADE is lower in ABV but still has all the powerful flavours you’d expect from TROOPER.

500 ml bottle, from British Corner Shop. ABV is 4.1%. Clear deep golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of malts, toffee and nuts. Well hopped flavour for its low ABV, earthy notes, grapefruity in the bitter finish.

Floral lemon, biscuit malt and hay aroma (along with cardboard). Golden yellow with small white head. Mildly sweet lemon, biscuit, and moderately bitter dry hay and lemon peel flavor. Good body. Decent, easy drinking (unfortunately my bottle was a bit oxidized though).

Clear gold with a white head. Aroma of grains, citrus. Taste is grain malt with quite a bit of spicy hops....peppery/citrus. Pretty dry....more like a hopped-up pale ale...a little harsh at first, but warms into a fairly pleasant, sessionable beer.

1/5/2019. Bottle courtesy of Dan. Pours slightly hazy pale gold with a small off-white head. Aroma of citrus, hops, grass, grapefruit, malt and caramel. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Ok.
