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. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is juicy malts, earthy, grassy hops. Taste is the same. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Not too shabby.

On cask at the Pheasant Inn in Keswick. Appearance - golden amber and cloudy. Creamy white head. Nose - lemon, biscuit and a hint of caramel. Taste - lemon barley water. Palate - light to medium bodied and nicely refreshing. Overall - decent example of the style.

Had at the England v New Zealand test match at Edgbaston thanks to Sarky: Poured a golden with a frothy white head. Aroma is light hops, grain, malts. Taste was bitter forward of hops, grain and malt backbone, very refreshing. FEED THE SNAKE, FEED THE SNAKE!

In de tuin uit een halve liter fles. Een te lage score heeft dit bier. Voor de 3,6% een uitstekende frisse en lichtbittere smaak. Goudgele kleur, wit schuim. Aangenaam bij tropische temperaturen.

Bottle from Asda, costing £1. Golden in colour, with a thin, white, head and plenty of carbonation. Aroma had a touch of hedgerow hop and malty sweetness. Flavour largely of rather tired cereals, with a hint of fruitiness before a pleasantly bitter finish. Ok.

Pale gold with a frothy white head and a mellow tropical fruit and floral aroma. Refreshing, light bodied mouthfeel, with floral hops and touches of fruit livening up the biscuit malt backbone
