Description
Redcastle Brewery officially opened its doors in 2016, brewing our much loved Tower IPA. Since then we have gone on to sample many different, styles of beer and currently have 9 core beers available in our range.

We create traditional British-style ales of exceptional quality and taste. We do everything in house - brewing, casking and bottling in a quality controlled environment.

Our ales are honest, flavoursome and moreish, just like us!

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2022. deep, reddish-copper in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. Leafy hops, a touch of brown sugar, red berries, sweet, sightly earthy, malts, leading to a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Copper colour with lasting head. There's a strange mix of cakey sweet elements against a fairly strong hop bitterness. The hop profile seems quite dank. Misses some brighter, top motes.

Cask at The Grill, Aberdeen. It pours crystal clear blonde wjth a ncie white head. The aroma is fresh, airy, zingy, lemon - lime and pleasant floral accents. The taste is classic Scottish hote golde... soft, quite light, bready / biscuity malt, clean, zingy lemon - lime, light floral, touch of spice and some porridge on the finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Not exactly a game changer, but it is fresh, bright and in good condition. Good for the style.

Cask handpull at PoW, Aberdeen. It pours clear golden amber with a decent white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, rather nice floral character, juicy citrus, pomelo, grapefruit, grass and a touch of spice. The taste is firmly dry, nice bitterness, bright floral vibes, citrus peel, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, peppery spice, lemongrass and honeysuckle with a dry, pithy finish. Average body and fine, foamy carbonation. Quite bright and moreish. Probably the best Redcastle beer I've tried.
