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 at Crescent, Salford, 25 July 2009) Golden colour with brief, white head. Fruity nose with lemon, pineapple and grass. Fruity taste with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, grass and a touch of grapefruit and resin in the finish. Rather light body with balanced sweetness and lots of aroma hops (as expected with Pictish). Nice and refreshing.
