Cask at Ealing beer festival. A pale golden/straw coloured pour with a smallish head. Nice hoppy, floral aroma. Tastes fresh, malty, hoppy, citrus fruit, dry, crisp, bitter. Lingering aftertaste that makes you want more. Always reach for Pictish when I see it, lovely stuff.

Cask. A hazy light golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt and flowery hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of flowers and hops. The body is light. Lovely refreshing.

On gravity at Bristol beer festival, 19/03/10. Clear gold with a slight white head. Pleasant tropical fruit and citrus hop aroma , with some hay and touch of sweet malts. Flavours of lemon, pineapple and sweet biscuits, leading to grapefruit hops and a lingering, dry finish. My first Pictish beer in a while, and proof that its still an excellent brewery.

Cask, Marble Arch Inn, Manchester. Clear light gold colour with a good looking white head and superb wee bit of lace. Nose had heaps of fragrant hoppage and fresh citrus. Clean, crisp, bright and fresh, this was in great condition. Fruitiness and hoppiness all in perfect proportion. So very downable. Bitterness quite pleasantly restrained and a lovely balance. Yay, yay and thrice yay !!
