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 โ€“ 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.

Hazy golden, thick white head. Light fruit aroma. Taste is hop, tropical stone fruit, grassy hop. Doesn't taste its strength. Very drinkable. Slightly floral hop finish.

Clear golden beer, thick white head. Light zesty hop smell. Flavour is pretty mellow, all told. There's a bit of sharp citrus up front but it mellows with a little sweetness, a little bitter hop. Mild, bittersweet aftertaste. It's not exciting but it's decent.

Clear, slightly lively red beer with a thick white head. Smell is zesty, tropical fruit and a little saltiness. There's a decent amount of saltiness in the flavour, citrus, grapefruit, maybe some pine, a little spice and some savoury flavour from the umami flavour mentioned in the description. Could quite easily have gone wrong but it's balanced really nicely. I wouldn't want loads of it but it's pretty tasty.

Very nicely done, especially for a gluten-free. Roasty, sweetish and light. The fruit works well, giving some tartness, complexity and flavour. The almonds are nicely present in the background. Tasty.
