DruncanVeasey (1633), Burbage, Leicestershire, England Apr 12, 2008 Cask, Coventry Beer Festival 2008. Dark amber. Juicy citrus and floral hops on the nose. Tangily hoppy and orange-accented but on this showing, lacking the zest of it’s bottled counterpart. Too much grainy malt and alcohol. Still pretty tasty, mind. anders37 (2582), Malmö, Sweden Feb 7, 2008 Cask @ Bishops Arms, Malmö. Pours a clear golden color with a small off-white head. Fruity malty and hoppy citrus aroma.

Clear golden, thin bubbly off-white head. Fruity hoppiness, orangey, lemony, lemongrass. Mouth is malty and harshly brackish, some chestnut tones and some floralness.
