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.

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.

Helle, klare Farbe. Getreidig und fruchtig hopfig mit Noten von Mandarine, Grapefruit und Zitronenschale. Nicht zu intensiv. Auch leichte Hefenoten erkenne ich, obwohl das Bier glasklar gefiltert ist. Feinperlige Kohlensäure - nicht viel. Gibt nen schönen Kompromiss aus Weichheit und Lebendigkeit.

If this is the best I'd hate to try the worst. Pic: the new Queen of England!

Servida en pinta, color dorado, brillante y cristalino, espuma blanca cremosa bien retenida. Se percibe poco aroma, algo de malta, muy sutil. En boca es muy ligera, nada compleja, pequeño toque mineral, con puntito dulce y muy liviano amargor, suave, refrescante y, pese a su simpleza, muy sabrosa. Invita a trago muy largo. En general una cerveza tan simple como tremendamente agradable, un "fondo de nevera" perfecto para cualquier momento.

It's a bit skunky but not horrible

Servida en pinta, color ámbar, espuma jabonosa color blanco lino bastante bien retenida. Aroma discreto a malta, miel y algo de caramelo. En boca adquiere algo mas de fuerza , reservando siempre, no obstante, su carácter comedido, se sienten matices de caramelo, aparece algo de frutos secos, cereales, final marcado por un ligero amargor, y una sutil nota metálica de fondo que, aunque bastante leve, no me pasa desapercibida. En general bastante decente y correcta.
