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.

Color ámbar, nebulosa de un dedo de espuma blanquecina. aroma no muy marcado con ligeras, notas malteadas, acarameladas. En boca cuerpo moderado y un agradable sabor acaramelado, sin empalagar,con notas de frutos secos y uvas, y un punto de gas que realza el sabor sin molestar. Final moderadamente seco y amargo. Buena.

jedan tipičan bitter iz zemlje bittera Engleske. Ima laganih 4.4% alk, ali to je za jedan bitter OK. Piva je nazvana po bombarderu iz 2.svj.rata, baš nedavno skinuo dokumentarac o njemu. Možda bi bilo bolje da sam prvo pogledao dokumentarac pa popio pivu, ili još bolje pio pivu dok gledam dokumentarac... Ovako ću dokumentarac gledat na suho...

opalescent golden colour, medium sized creamy ecru hed, which lasts for several minutes; aroma of some fruity, floral, citrusy and biscuity-caramel notes; taste of hoppy bitterness, some pear-like fruitiness, minimal honey and caramel notes; not that bad

Cask at JDW Spoons, Eastbourne. Easy drinking bitter that hid its strength rather well. Didn't seem to punch in any direction. Not many notes of IPA, even for English style.

Bottled (from K CM Rovaniemi). Golden colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, some mild citrus and a bit sweetish malts. Flavour is mild fruits, some bready, a bit crisp malty notes along with some slight elements of rather hard water.
