Common descriptors are
Bottle: Filtered Contract brewed by Marston's using the same recipe and ingredients as Old Empire, though with a slightly higher ABV. Available in 500ml bottles at Sainsbury’s supermarkets as part of their Taste The Difference range. This traditional IPA has fresh aromas of white flowers and citrus with a clean bitter hop flavour. This classic India Pale Ale is made in Burton upon Trent, the home of British brewing. The recipe uses Fuggles, Goldings and Cascade hops and yeast from the Burton Union System, only used by the Marston’s Brewery in Burton. The famous Burton water is also used in the brewing process which helps give this ale its distinct flavour.
