Description
We started brewing in Burton-Upon-Trent in 1834. Then in 1898 we got itchy feet. So we moved down the road to the Albion brewery. We still like it so we’ve not moved again since.

We came to Burton for the water. Well, for the rocks the town was built on to be precise. The water trickles down through a thick layer of gypsum before we bring it back up again through our well. That’s what gives our beers the depth of flavour, character and crisp refreshing bitterness that you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

500ml bottle. Clear, orange golden colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Floral hoppy and pale malty aroma, a touch of chamomile, non alcoholic-like, yeasty doughy overtones. Taste is floral hoppy and minimally spicy, pale malty, a touch of daisy and chamomile. Slightly oily, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Floral, not overly complex - decent thirst quencher.
