Description
Pictish Brewing Company is a small independent brewery established in April 2000 by Richard Sutton. Early in 2013 Richard decided to opt for an easier life and skive off leaving things in the hands of his old friend Paul Wesley. We brew a wide variety of high quality cask conditioned ales and deliver direct to the licensed trade in the Lancashire, Manchester and West Yorkshire areas.

Clear golden with white head. Sweet malts, earl grey & wet hops, floral pollen/nectar notes, trad. English dead cask ale. Sweet, leathery bitter, somewhat sickly notes. Firm body. Low carbonation. I like that it’s different from what I usually drink.

Can at home. Clear deep golden with fluffy almost white head. Caramel malts, bread crust, has this lovely deep malty nose. Later more apple, flowers, soft berries, bitter herbs. Medium sweet and quite bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Has a lovely nose but also some stuff I don't like a lot. Quite interesting though, and a nice change from all the NEIPAs of now.
