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.

500ml bottle in a box (ooooh!!!!) from Waitrose - Clear amber body, not much head. Nose is a honeyed mix of citrus fruits, taste has a sharp citrus hit, unripe mango and a long bitter finish. Okay enough, but nothing to make me want another or chase the series.

Bottle. Waitrose. Xmas gift from the missus. She likes to throw in a few ticks. Soft haze on a pale gold. Fine white head. Nose has jammy hop. Touch of spice. Ginger biscuit grain. Some candied peel. Taste sets off sweet and biscuity, with a moderate citrus peel bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel. Fine carbonation. Lingering moderate bitterness to finish. Couldn’t detect any oak ageing, but nevertheless this was a nice, old school IPA.
