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.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Jumping on the US hop blonde beer bandwagon. Gold colour, thick cream head. Slight burton snatch aroma. Citrus hops too. Pretty good condition in the mouth. Then US hop finish, so not surprised it says it has Cascades. It’s fine and perfect for summer.

Hazy amber color. Malty aroma and flavor, a bit fruity too. Good body; strong bitterness. Maybe there is a light infection present. Solid.

Amber coloured with a slight white head. Muted aromas of red fruit and stale malt. Flavour lacked the sulphurous tones of the cask version, instead being of fruity malt with a rather abrupt finish. Bland.

Golden color. Smells like a cheap Lager. Better flavor: some malt, dry, good body strength and high bitterness.

Orange color. Quite smelly, simple, sweet, rather poor, just a high ending bitterness.

Dark amber to brown color, clean. Simple aroma. Fresh taste, with some malt, caramel, sweetness if possible. Ends with a vague earthy hopping, but the bitterness is strong enough and lasting. Pleasant.
