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.

First beer after getting released, drink with Bernd while the floating screed dries at our house addition. Nice bready biscuit nose. Flavor is nutty, earthy goodness; moderate body and foresty bitterness. Quite nice.

A little worse than average. Old school east coast bitter pale ale. A bit harsh since the livliness of these bottles has died out. Likely 11 months old. Kellys ams

Bottle on 28th July 2023 from Morrison’s, Holloway. Pours a clear amber with shallow diminishing foam affording scant lacing. Hoppy aroma. Biscuit malts and leafy, grassy hoppiness in-mouth. A grassy hop finish. Medium bodied with an engaging texture.

500ml bottle from Spar, Llanfyllin. Pours dark brown, excellent creamy off-white head. Aroma of brown ale malt, fruitcake. Taste is smooth with a lovely subtle toffee sweetness with fruitcake and dried dark fruits. Really quite nice.

Golden pour with a small white head. Aromas of citrus and tropical fruits, a hint of malt. Taste is similar, but adding some hops. Overall alright for a oub session, given the alternatives on offer.

0.5 l bottle from 'LIDL' (Wyk auf Föhr), best before April 2024. Clear, golden with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity-floral aroma of lemon peel, gooseberry and some marmalade. Slightly sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently fruity-floral taste of grains, lemon peel, marmalade and gooseberry, followed by a short, gently bitter, slightly dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, quite effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Pleasant, quite refreshing ale. Nice one!

0,5 bottle. Lid, gollden ale selection. In a nice, stocky bottle, normal, "beer gold" color, with a soft, dense, good head. Aroma: restrained, half and half malt and slightly (citrusy) hoppy. Not too full-bodied, but good hoppy body for the price, bitter, a little sweetness, a little citrusy, and a malty body. A good summer thirst quencher. Quite delicious. Although it is an ale, it resembles more hoppy, clean German lagers. Its milk foam-like head is quite special.*
Lidl, golden ale válogatás. Szép tömzsi üvegben normális, "sörarany" szín, rajta puha, tömör jó kis hab. Aroma: visszafogott, fele-fele arányban malátás, és enyhén (citrusosan) komlós. Nem túl testes, de ehhez mérten jó komlós, keserű, kis édesség, kis citrusosság mellett malátás test. Jó nyári szomjoltó. Egész finom. Bár ale, de a komlózotabb letisztult, német lagerekhez hasonlít. A tejhab-szerű habja elég különleges.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with very small white head. Clear aroma of malt, with estery and hoppy touches. Bitter and estery flavour with malty touches. Bitter and citric aftertaste with estery notes. Not bad as such but rather tame.
