Beer Martin's IPA

India Pale Ale Beer

India Pale Ale was first brewed when the British ships crossed the oceans on-route to their faraway colonies. To better preserve their beloved beer during these long voyages, the English brewers added extra hops.

British Brewer John Martin honored this tradition when he landed in Antwerp in 1909 by using the unique dry hopping technique.

For this technique, extra hop flowers are added at the end of the fermentation process to give the beer a fruity aroma and a bitter yet balanced flavour.

Martin's IPA, the perfect alliance between British character and Belgian brewing expertise.

Taste-wise:

Nose: Ripe orange fruit (apricot, peach and plum), herbiness from the hops and a hint of white flowers.

Flavour: A full feeling in the mouth thanks to the outspoken bouquet of hops. A powerful bitterness at the start, followed by an ever so slight peppery aftertaste.

Martin's

John Martin: English spirit and Belgian brewing expertise since 1909!

In the early 20th century, the Englishman John Martin left his native land and settled in Antwerp, where he founded the company that now still bears his name.

He decided to import beer directly from England in oak barrels. His first product on the Belgian market was Martin's Real Ale, followed by Martin's IPA and then Martin's Pale Ale.

Now, just over 100 years later, the brewery's range offers again these 3 special beers, brewed according to the finest English tradition.

Martin's brewery has developed under the leadership of the founder's grandson, Anthony, and it is the only brewery in Belgium that offers such a typically British range of pale ale.
