Cask at The Wellington, aka ’The Cask and Cutler’ Sheffield, ’The Peoples Republic of South Yorkshire’ on the Valley of Beer Day 16-08-08 I overheard the barman saying that this was due to go on so waited an extra few minutes to get a taste of my first Pictish of the day. This looked in great nick and as Mes would say poured with the ’usual Pictish snowstorm’ Light gold in colour with a white bubbly head. Bitterness was a little stinging and pithy but less depth of flavour than I expected, a very good beer that just for once met its match and was outpunched by the (in this pub at least) by the excellent Millstone Baby Git, still a 3.7 is a damn decent score.

Cask at the GBBF 2008. Golden colour, low head. Lovely aroma of tropical fruits, notes of flowers and honey too. Nice hoppy flavour, moderate malts and fruit, then an assertive bitterness takes over.

Cask, gravity dispense at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 18th and 19th 2008 Pours pale golden with a nice white head, looks pretty decent. Soft fruitiness leaning towards citrus but a bit restrained. Not as hoppy in the mouth or as recognisably Pictish as some of their others, I never had that first taste and then pull the glass back whilst exclaiming "Now that is bloody good" moment that I normally do with Pictish that said it was, good, refreshing and tasty but most unlike Pictish it was part of the pack this time rather than a leader.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 08. Pale gold with thin white head. Pale hoppy beer, fairly distinctive hop. Very acidic aroma. Very ascetic, but pretty good and very balanced. Actually as it went down I thought it was excellent.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol, 20/4/08. Golden coloured with next to no head. Grapefruit and grass hop aromas. Slightly sweet malt flavours before the citrus hops kicked in, culminating in along, dry finish. Another well-balanced Pictish beer.
