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.

Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Pours clear golden with a thinnish creamy white head. Aromas of light citrus, honey and floral. Taste is very biscuity with more subtle tones of lemon, honey and floral. Also a tiny herbal note. Low bitterness. Sweetish finish. Thinnish body and fairly smooth mouthfeel. Ok everyday session beer.

Bottle from my local grocery store ‘Loco’. Pours a hazy copper colour with a medium sized creamy white head. Aromas of toffee, caramel, biscuits and bread. Taste has more of the same notes and is also quite fruity with a bittersweet finish. Some metallic notes also. Not very good if I’m honest.

Near black with a small, bubbly tan head and roasted malt and vanilla on the nose. Smooth and creamy, chocolate and vanilla show their faces in the roasted malt flavour, and there's the merest hint of bitterness in the finish

Olfactory rather floral with some fruity esters. Golden and clear liquid with a medium foam that lasts long enough. Taste is also floral and fruity but accompanied by deciduous hops that develop deep bitterness and slight astringency. Light fruity esters that supports the floral side. Body moderately light and carbonation still quite sustained for style. More new world than English, this pale ale combines fruitiness and bitterness in a hopping very unstandard for style. Olfactif plutôt floral avec quelques esters fruités. Liquide doré et limpide avec une mousse moyenne qui perdure assez longtemps. Également florale en bouche mais s’accompagnant de houblons feuillus qui développent une amertume profonde et une légère astringence. Léger fruité qui supporte le côté floral. Corps moyennement léger et carbonatation quand même assez soutenue pour le style. Plus nouveau-monde qu’Anglaise, cette pale ale allie fruité et amertume dans un houblonnage très peu standard pour le style. O:6.535 V:3.25 G:7.9 C:3.098 G:14.35 T:35.133
