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 gravity at Mason & Taylor Hip Hop BF. Clear pale gold thin white head. Tangerine lime aroma. Enormously tasty in the mouth with a tasty building finish. Really tasty. Almost unbelievably gorgeous.

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.

Cask@Knott Bar, Manchester. Golden looks with a minimal white head. Aroma was largely restrained and was a mixture of bready malts, grassy hop and a dash of citrus. The juicy fruit notes stood out in the flavour alongside some decent hoppage. Nicely lingering bitter finish. A decent easy drinking beer, that has some good character for the strength.

(Cask at Gallows Real Ale Festival 2011) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had citricness and fruitiness. Palate was quite light bodied and dry. Flavours were fruitiness, hops, citricness, grain, malts, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was bitter. Quite nice brew but too thin.

Cask at NWAF, 2011. Black pour, no head. Smoke, coffee, dark chocolate and burnt caramel aromas. Earthy, sour flavours with a hint of licorice. Earthy, bitter finish. More strange than complex.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2010. I’m going to persist with Picitsh until I like them. Pale gold beer. Lasting cream head. Some yeast on aroma. Some odd hop on this, herby and slightly sweet. Well made, but just a touch sweet maybe.
