i brought some the other week, still not got round to using it yet. But the pack says -
Burton Water Crystals
(calcium sulphate / magnesium sulphate)
Used to imitate the water found in Burton-On-Trent, particularly to brew heavily hopped pale ales.

Yay! I've been waiting years for the opportunity to legitimately mention 'The Burton Snatch' :thumb:
But to add a bit more info: 'The Burton Snatch' is the typical sulphury overtone on many traditional Burton-brewed beers, caused by the sulphate levels in the local water. It tends to enhance hop bitterness flavours.
