Tasted by a pint at the Wenlock Arms, N. London two days ago. This was the last beer tasted amongst five others (all by half-pint) that evening, and also the most satisfactory.
A: dark orangey golden hue with great clarity, while the thin creamy, white beer head sustains throughout the drink--a dream come true for a healthy and fresh cask-conditioned ale.
S: very fruity, with grapefruit and lychee-fruits dominating the theme, mixed with a light-bodied and soft maltiness at the back. Nice hop presence throughout and very complex as it goes.
T: upfront the grapefruit-zest tangy taste comes with grapefruit-juice like bitter/sour-sweet juicy fruits. The bitterness mingles so well with the lightly juicy pale malts which catch up fast, leading to a long-lasting, vertical hoppyness mixed of good depth of grapefruity fruits and spring blossoms.
M&D: the clear and vertical structure of hops and malts is the major hit in this beer, making it a lively hoppy ale with a solid body and ultra-balanced flavour, while remaining absolutely smooth on the palate. A great seasonal offering from the Pictish! (actually I ended up drinking three pints of this beer in 1.5 hours which had never happened to me before~~)
