(Cask at Craft Beer Clerkenwell, London, 14 July 2026) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, peaches and grass. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, peaches, crackers and a gentle floral/citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Refreshing and hoppy. Nice one.

Hand pulled half pint at a beer festival, Pheasant Inn, Wellington on 17th July 2026. Clean and clear golden body, smooth and soft snow white crown which gave off some good lacing. Citrus fruit aroma and taste with lemon and lime being the main players, a bit of malt action calmed it all down though.

Handpull cask at Broad Street Social, Bury. Light to mid-gold, mostly clear with a small off-white and a fair bit of lacing. Aroma is kind of hard to pin down. Malty with notes of toffee but also some bright citrus. Seems to jar a bit rather than balance, but not impossibly so. Sweet taste, again the toffee and citrus kind of get each other's way. Fairly intense bitterness just at the end. Medium body, soft carbonation. Weird but good.

Pictish do so many of these single hop brews it's hard to keep up with what I've tried. This is a re-rate from the Oldham Beer Festival 2017 for me, but it's in better nick in Rochdale this time around. A pale clear golden obviously hoppy brew, it has a dryness, a light bitterness, a hint of fruit, and whilst nothing too much to shout about is a pleasant easy experience.

A beer whilst watching the demise of Tottenham. The ale itself isn't as dramatic, a clear pale golden brew with a mid-hoppy character and taste.

Hand pulled pint at the Wrekin Inn on 20th February 2026. Clean and clear light golden body, white crust on top. I am not a fan of single hop beers usually but Pictish seem to get it right more often than not. This was the best Riwaka Hop beer I've had so far.

Hand pulled half pint at the Station Hotel, Oakengates on 8th December 2025, with Bertie, Margie, Auntie Sue, Ant and Maureen. Clean golden pour, white head. I assume this is a single hop (Belma) Blonde. It was fruity with a mild orange/citrus aroma and initial taste, became more bitter as it warmed and I sipped my way through it.

Cask at Fighting Cock, Bradford - Deepest brown body, off white top. Straight down the middle stout, decent roasted notes, rich and malty caramel, lots of dark burnt cake fruits in there too. Nice solid effort.
