Albion Ale is a bottled beer created by Harveys to celebrate the launch of The Brighton and Hove Albion football Stadium - The Amex. It is sold exclusively at the stadium and in Harveys Lewes Shop, and now online, with 5p from every bottle donated to Macmillan Cancer Support.

This well-hopped beer is derived from our Sussex Best Bitter. Bottled for ’The Albion’, a blend of four different ’aroma’ hop varieties imparts a delicate bitterness which is balanced by the residual sweetness of malt sugars.

Bottle from Harvey’s bottle shop. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is toasty, grain, light caramel sweetness, cake and cereal. The taste is bitter, toasted grain, earth, brown bread, touch of caramel, cereal, light spice and leaves with a dry finish. Light-medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Nice bitterness to it. A quaffable bitter.
