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 at PoW, Aberdeen. It pours clear golden with a thick, foamy white head. The aroma is soft, bready, sponge cake, biscuit, some floral vibes and citrus. The taste is dry, bitter, pithy, zesty, floral, biscuit malt base, grapefruit, peppery spice, straw and grass with a dry, floral finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Fresh and quaffable. Nice condition helps!

[Cask at the Standing Order (JDW), Edinburgh.] A clear golden amber pour with a ring of white head; yeasty aroma with some esters; banana flavour with more esters and some caramel; and a harsh finish with alcohol and yet more harsh esters. Not good.

Cask at The Prince Of Wales, Aberdeen. It pours clear amber with a foamy white head. The aroma is earthy, cereal, toasty grain, brown bread, oily orange, but of toffee and marmalade. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, pithy citrus, oily orange, lemongrass, floral pine, bit of toffee, biscuit and toasted nut with a drying finish. Average body and soft carbonation. A bit more malt component than I want for a single citra copped ale. Ok.
