Iron Maiden -The Trooper
So here is a little background before the actual review... I had the beer with some bacon cheeseburger pizza for dinner.
ABV- 4.7% so it is light, and one could have a couple and still be pretty good.
LOOK- Amber look, not very "heady", not extremely carbonated so there is not much after burp.
SMELL- hmmm I smell a hint of sweet, but not too sweet.
TASTE- very smooth,no foul aftertaste. Slightly bitter, and what I describe as a little malty.
FEEL- low carbonation. Very smooth to drink.
OPINION- 4 out of 5. I was very surprised by how good this beer was. I bought it as a novelty as I am a big Iron Maiden fan. It was tasty, not too hoppy, not too malty. It was a very good mix of bitter, sweet, malt etc and overall a solid beer. I would definitely drink this again and recommend it to others.
SIDE NOTES: I love the label. As I said I am a big Iron Maiden fan and seeing Eddie on the cover with the Trooper name was pretty damn cool. On the back of the label it told the story of The Charge of the Light Brigade, and being a History Teacher, I also thought that was pretty damn cool. My beer was not only tasty but educational too.
