 DruncanVeasey (1631), Burbage, Leicestershire, England
Aug 30, 2008 Pale straw haloed with white. Aroma canal, unidentified fruit (maybe apple). Hints of pear and apple in the mouth, straw, chalk, oats, that dusty dankness underpinning everything. Peppery hop dryness again. Wheaty, floury afters in the nose. Dust and dankness. Underwhelming.

May 19, 2008 Cask conditioned - handpump - Lord Nelson, Brighton. An orange coloured bitter. Again full of that Harveys pepper. Excellent condition, forming lace even without a head. Smooth and drinkable if a little short in the finish. A nice beer though.
