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.

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 โgreenessโ to it. Trace of mango. Dry finish and a bitter aftertaste. A tad too dry but slips down easy enough.

Cask, handpump at The Kings Head, Huddersfield Railway Station, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire 23.04.11 Touch eggy on the nose but after the sulphuor there is a very agreeable hoppiness, reasonably bitter. Not as crisp or fruity as some from Pictish, but well served good nick, good clarity. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Cask, 4.0%. Almost clear golden colour. Nice creamy chalk white head. Tastes like roasted barley at first, later tasting like fresh tobacco, even with a touch of nicotine. Nicotine sourness, or perhaps alcohol bitterness, I am not sure. A bit dodgy with the tobacco notes, but tastes fresh.
