Following the announcement by Carlsberg that they were to stop brewing 'DBA', interested parties started a campaign on social media to find a brewer to produce this iconic ale. Both Burton Bridge Brewery directors, Geoff Mumford & Bruce Wilkinson were involved with the original beer at Ind Coope and felt it important that the beer returned to it's Burton home. Following a trial brew, the new beer made it's debut at the Burton CAMRA Beer Festival in March 2015. It has become a firm favourite, with many saying how much like the original beer it is.
It would be impossible to brew an exact replica, but we are sure it is as close as possible. Hops used are known only to a few and will not be revealed here.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Clear gold beer, a few white bubbles. Palate is light, dry and has decent fine carbonation. Dry pale malts, Mild sulphur - yeast. A little marmalade and citrus. Light dry finish. Fine. Hardly worth the closely guarded hop recipe though!

Sampled @ GBBF day 1. Clear light orange color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, a slight touch of fruitpeel, a rather dry a slightly tart fruitpeel bitterness. Don’t get much more. Average body and carbonation. Meh.

Gravity, shared with Finn at The National Winter Ales Festival. Warm and clear golden coloured body. Poor lacing, missing head. Herbal hops with citric hints on the nose. Citrus flavours with orange to the fore. Semi-dry, fruit bitter ending. Drinks quite well (Roundhouse, Derby 17.02.2016).
