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.

Ugly 500ml white bottle from Sainsburys. Amber with a white head; aroma is slightly surgical, a bit like the disinfectant smell of a hospital, but there are some hops in their somewhere; creamy and dry in the mouth at first, but a rich fruitiness develops; leaving a warm finish and a bitter orangeness.

Another spin off beer that was ultimately something of a disappointment, I’d just rated one of the Bombardier spin off’s. Picked this up in Sanisnburys at Swindon 10-04-07. A warm golden colour that took carbonation to a new level for an English Bottled Beer. Some sweet malt aroma but not that much, taste is something of nothing but more nothing than I’d expected, the higher alcohol level really didn’t do much for this at all it was just a poorer souped up version of a decent bottled ale, their was some resemblance to the orginal Pedigre in there but you had to look hard and this was one beer that I sort of drank and forgot about this, such was it’s impact.

Cask at the wharf, Aalborg. Dark golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is malt and hop. Flavour is fruit, malt, hop. Boring.

Cask@Royal Arms Hotel and Public House, Sutton Cheney. Golden beer with a light head. The aroma is light and the flavour is weakly dry and watery. Overall an average watery, tasteless dry beer.
