About
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.

0.5 bottle. Carbonated medium gold, pure color. Not very durable head. Light, grassy scent. Slightly watery sip, quite carbonated, bitterness okay, slightly medicinal aftertaste. It was disembodied what they tried to make with carbonic acid into an easy drinking beer.

Szénsavasnak kinéző közép arany, tiszta szín. Nem túl tartós hab. Könnyed, füves illat. Picit vizes korty, elég szénsavas, keserűség rendben, picit gyógyszeres utóíz. Testetlen, amit a szénsavval próbáltak könnyű ivósörré tenni. Az is.

Bottle BBE in 11 months. Pours gold, clear with small head. Fruity citrus aroma. Moderate carbonation although a little watery. Taste of citrus, pine, malt, and a grainy hoppy bitter end. Metallic notes are present if drank from the bottle, this is definitely one you need to air and swirl from a glass. Balance is good. A nice session ale which is better than most lagers.There’s nothing spectacular here but sometimes simplicity is what you need.

Bottle via Lidl, SK. Moderate body, med-thin carbonation. Quite clean. Light sweetness, with honeyish grainy malt flavour. Moderate bitterness, with subtle grassy herbal hops character. I actually taste the hops, which is the first time after making my way through half of the 13 beers in the Lidl ale boxes. Also lacking any major off-flavours, only light cooked corn. Good, easy drinking.
