Speights Empire IPA is a bold and flavorful offering from the renowned Speights Brewery. This 5.5% ABV Indian Pale Ale is brewed with a blend of pale ale malt, caramalt, and roasted malts, creating a deep amber color and a delightful caramelized maltiness. The real star of the show is the generous addition of Kohatu hops, which impart a complex bouquet of fruity and spicy aromas. The hop profile also contributes a smooth, clean bitterness that perfectly balances the malt character, making for a well-rounded and highly drinkable IPA. Whether you're a seasoned IPA enthusiast or exploring the style for the first time, Speights Empire is a must-try. Its robust flavor profile and balanced approach make it an excellent choice for enjoying on its own or pairing with a variety of foods.
