Description
Brass Castle commenced brewing in a garage as a commercial home brewer in August 2011 initially in Pocklington, East Yorkshire. In December 2013 they relocated to Malton, North Yorkshire and expanded to a 10BBL plant. Over time, new tanks arrived and a Taphouse was established next door. Success, friends, family and the odd bank loan have got us where we are now.
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.

440ml can @ Chez Sophie. Pours deep dark brown, fair beige head. Aroma brings good amounts of coconut and chocolate, continuing to taste, full bodied with just the right amount of sweetness. Presented well with prominent coconut throughout.

Can from Appellation Wines. Pours lightly hazed yellow gold with a thick white head. Aromas of orange, brown bread, faint salt. Taste is more of the same. Guess there's a hint of seaweed at the back.

330ml can at the Ale Stone, Aylestone. Yellow gold and hazy with a large loose off-white head. Aroma is lots of lemon, metallic, grass. Sweet taste with lemon zest, a tangy hard citrus bitterness closer to the finish. More lemon in the aftertaste, soft to medium carbonation. A very decent Helles.

Can. Just a very light haze on this rich gold beer, small bubbly cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. The malts are reasonably sweet and deliver a fair amount of unsweet. Caramel. An abundance of cooling piney hop. Orange peel and marmalade into something that tastes like this was barrel aged, touches of vanilla and wood, just touches mind. Light finish. Full marks for delivering a pretty light and clean triple IPA but ultimately this is a West Coaster and comes with all the boundaries and restrictions of that sub style. Impressive but not something that engages my heart at all.
