Previously known as Eden First Emperor
The name of our traditional English India Pale Ale is inspired by King Edward VII, the first British emperor of India. It reaches back in time to the days before IPA became all about sizzling American hops and big flavours. We use traditional floor malted Maris Otter barley and personally choose a blend of English hops from Charles Faram hop merchants to create an IPA like it used to be - nuanced, subtle and full of class.
