hopIQ found 10 beers with the same citrusy and crisp character as Old Empire. Old Empire is Marston's recreation of the India pale ale that made Burton known abroad, clearly stronger than Pedigree. English Goldings and Fuggles meet American Cascade, giving what the brewery calls a crisp, citrus hop aroma and a balanced, bittersweet finish. A Nordic state retailer's tasting note adds an amber-gold colour, medium body, pronounced hop bitterness, ripe apricot, grapefruit and a spicy, malty base. The cask version was withdrawn at the end of 2024. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
