Albion’s Arctic Ale presents an enticing appearance but could benefit from better head formation. Its aroma is complex yet lacks harmony, a tension mirrored in the distinct but uncohesive flavour. While the pleasant mouthfeel and well-hidden alcohol are positives, it ultimately lacks finesse, leaving a sense of unresolved potential in this otherwise enjoyable sipper.

Alfheim | Brasserie Artisanale Albion
Alfheim is an outstanding sour beer with a beautiful sense of restraint. I could finish a whole bottle on my own and not feel overwhelmed. Superb balance, good drinkability, and a touch of intrigue make this a beer worth seeking out. Highly recommended.
My Lord | Brasserie Artisanale Albion
Overall this is a great beer. There’s a lot of flavour presented in a balanced and complex whole which on its own is enough reason to try this. The appearance is lacking just like the mouthfeel. If those were improved, this brew would stand out.
Chevalier Vert | Brasserie Artisanale Albion
Albion does it again. This beautiful brett pale ale really stands out.
It’s missing the intangibles of a world-class brew, but it’s well worth seeking out. The beer is delicate yet characterful and it boasts fantastic drinkability with superb balance.
1848 Imperial Russian Stout | Brasserie Artisanale Albion
Every now and then I’ll come by a beer that is perfect as is – delivering flavour, balance, drinkability, and intrigue. Albion’s 1848 is all of that. Yet, I consider this a humble brew. Far from pretentious, the beer simply presents itself quietly, stripped of excess while delivering an epic drinking experience.
Lacustre | Brasserie Artisanale Albion
I was very confused at first – maybe I still am. Lacustre deserves a very high overall score because it’s unique, it takes me on a journey, and there are no clear off-flavours. I can visualize a damp, earthy, and solitary forest with each sip and that alone is worth a lot of points.
