Trooper is a premium British beer created by Iron Maiden and handcrafted at Robinsons’ brewery in Stockport, England. Being a beer enthusiast, vocalist Bruce Dickinson has developed a brew which has true depth of character. Malt-heavy flavors and citric notes from a unique blend of Bobek, Goldings and Cascade hops dominate this deep golden 4.7 ABV beer with a subtle hint of lemon.
