Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival, 17th & 18th February 2012 Another one of those Pictish beers that Mes would describe settle with a trademark Pictich snowstorm, before then becoming wonderfully clear. Colour is straw as the description suggests and taste is decent but not as good as some Pictish and not as good as some on offer. However it was this beer that sold out first and I suppose for your more casual real ale drinker the softer tones of this beer, light hoppiness and relatively easy going bitterness were much more in favour, v.good but not great.

Cask, handpump at Marble Arch, Manchester in company of Loz, Baz, Jude 21.01.12 Straw coloured, maybe a little darker with a slim white head. Touch of spicy hop in the mouth, constant dryness, good beer but didn’t blow me away. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Cask, gravity at Dudley Winter Ales Festival Sat 26th November 2011 with Bob Pours gold and with a wonderful clarity and with a white head. despite suggesting that three days in the beers at this festival are not in the best of condition now, this one certainly bucks the trend. However flavour wise it didn’t really impress, not the best from Pictish though I think this is more likely the hop, I get a touch of creamy light vanilla fudge and some late dryness, but not a lot else, to be fair on day one the aroma and flavours may have been better.

Cask handpull at Wellington Sheffield. Pale crystal clear gold. Lasting white head. Beers served in good nick and good temp. This has a herby kick to the flavour. A touch of meaty herbyness. Good bitterness on finish. Some sweetness. This odd herb thing with a herb sausage finish is most likeable. Really good

(Cask at Market Porter, London Bridge, London, 21 May 2011) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of lemon, grapefruit, grass and fresh hops. Fruity, hoppy taste with citrus, tropical fruit, hints of honey and a fresh, gentle bitterness in the finish. Rather light body, with balanced sweetness. Refreshing and tasty single hop ale.

Cask at the Waggon and Horses, Halesowen. Pours light gold with a medium head. Aroma was sweet malt with some slight notes of tropical fruit hops. Taste had sweet malt to start with a sweet hop finish and some tropical fruit in the aftertaste. Full in the mouth. Tasty stuff.

Clear pale gold beer. Tiny white head. Light palate, slightly crisp and semi dry. Some orange citrus with a mildly astringent ’greeness’ to it. Trace of mango. Dry finish and a bitter aftertaste. A tad too dry but slips down easy enough.
