Trooper IPA

Bold hops. British tradition. A powerful IPA inspired by Iron Maiden. Trooper IPA is a hop-forward evolution of the iconic collaboration between Robinsons Brewery and Iron Maiden, created with the same attention to brewing quality that has made the Trooper range a global success. Developed alongside Bruce Dickinson, this stronger expression celebrates the great tradition of British IPA while adding a modern depth of flavour and intensity. Inspired by the historic India Pale Ales that were brewed with extra hop character for long journeys overseas, Trooper IPA delivers a more pronounced hop profile while maintaining the balance and drinkability expected from an English ale. Brewed with a carefully selected combination of malts and hops, it brings together citrus, floral, and tropical notes with a solid malt backbone of biscuit, caramel, and toasted grain. At 6.0% ABV, Trooper IPA offers more strength and complexity than the original Trooper, making it a beer designed for slow appreciation. The hops provide freshness and character, while the traditional English ale base keeps everything rounded and approachable. For beer lovers in Ireland, it represents a meeting point between classic British brewing heritage and the adventurous spirit that defines the Iron Maiden brand. Why we love it: Trooper IPA is where the collaboration really shows its ambition. It is not simply a beer with a famous name attached — it is a carefully crafted IPA with genuine character. The combination of expressive hops, smooth malt, and a slightly higher strength creates a beer that feels both traditional and contemporary. It has enough depth for experienced craft beer drinkers while remaining approachable for anyone discovering the world of IPAs.
