The brewery has always pushed itself to brew interesting beers, under the very deliberate constraint of doing so without the use of animal products. In turn, this caused Brass Castle to develop a house yeast strain and specialised processes that could guarantee the final product. From December 2017, every beer brewed at Brass Castle has been based on a gluten-free beer recipes – on the basis that beer should be made available to as many people as possible. Most recently, the brewery invested in canning line and carbonation tanks, to spread the beers further than they have gone before.

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. KEGS. Cask. Almost clear dark amber beer, few pale tan bubbles. Palate is smooth and light and semi dry. Modest fine carbonation. Mild caramel malts. Nice blend of sweetish red berry fruits and lightly tangy marmalade. Mild spice before a light and slightly jammy finish. Decent.

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. KEGS. Cask. Hazy gold beer, untidy bubbly white head. Palate is smooth and slightly viscous. Skunky pale malts, little spice. Slightly jammy citrus, orange and grapefruit. Little cakey sweetness before a mildly spicy semi dry finish. Not bad, certainly interesting.

Cask at the Craven Arms, post Cotts Convention, 24/01/15. Black with a decent tan covering. Nose is charr, roast malt, liquorice, dark malt, light smoke. Taste comprises light choclate, spice, dark malt, toffee, subtle smoke, light band aid, dark fruit rinds. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent smoked affair, well balanced, rauch doesn’t go mad.

Cask @ Dirty Dicks, Halifax. Golden with a thick creamy head. Strong tasting with tropical fruits struggling but evident in both its aroma and taste.

Cask at the old black bull, Preston. Pours pale yellow, thin white head. Aromas of lemon, quite strong lemon scent in fact. Taste is more lemon bitterness, something musty too though, which builds down the glass.

Bottle from Crafty Pint. Appearance - copper with a decent head. Nose - bread and toffee. Taste - more toffee, a hint of biscuit. Palate - close to medium bodied with a big tangy texture and a tangy cloying finish. Overall - too sweet for this style. Needs bitterness on the finish.
