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.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 07/03/21. Almost clear golden with a decent off white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is bitter orange, melon, grass, airy malts, pineapple. Taste comprises orange zest, soapy notes, grass, tangerine, melon, airy malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow hop bitterness. So so affair ... too much of a soapy thing going down.

Slightly hazy amber beer, head soon fizzled out. Distinctly dry, herby aroma with a little sweetness. Flavour is unusual as you might expect. Dry basil, actual tomatoey flavour bringing sweetness and a little tart citrus and hip in there with a dry, almost spiced finish.

440ml can from Trembling Madness. Copper with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet tomato and dry herbs. Flavour has more tomato, some lime sourness. Didn't know what to expect from this, but I really like it

Taste is tangy, sweetish, malt, grains, corn, with citric notes and some grassy hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry grassy metallic bitter finish.

440ml can delivered from the Real Ale Classroom in Leicester and drunk at home. Light golden, clear with a large loose off-white head. The slight aroma is dominated by coriander, with floral and soft citrus notes. It's a sweet beer but not overly sweet, with a modest spicy bite. The grapefruit bestows a little bitterness to the finish, but on balance it is still sweet. Soft carbonation. Everything about this beer is subtle and understated. A nice end to the evening.

Can: Poured a bright orange with a white head. Aroma is huge hoppy, fruity. Taste is bitter hops forward, but juices from the fruits rolled in, citrus, tropical, berry, sticks to the palate.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from All Good Beer. Pours clear honey-gold with a foamy, white head. Drinkable stuff though fairly simple, with bready pale malts, light pine, lemon and orange rind, low bitterness, sun-kissed grains. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, more bready and biscuity malts, subtle pine and citrus notes. Drinks fine.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - dark brown to black. Attractive fluffy, tan head. Nose - creamy dark chocolate but with an immediate hit of coffee too. Taste - coffee, then followed in by creamy chocolate. Brown bread backdrop. Palate - medium bodied at least. Creamy, roasty texture and roasty finish. Overall - nice.
