Description
Castle Brewery, a small batch brewery based in the ancient town of Lostwithiel by the banks of the River Fowey. High tech 'all in one' brewing of traditional ales.

Our philosophy is to brew the tastiest beers with the finest ingredients, sourced locally, where possible. The beers are made using the latest technology enabling consistent brewing on a small scale. This also allows us to brew some less mainstream beers. To make them ‘all inclusive’ they are unfined and naturally hazy, making them suitable for vegetarians/vegans. Recycling and re-using is also important to us, as we are a small microbrewery.

Slightly aged sample Off-white head, disappearing over dark reddish-copper beer. Bit spicy nose, rootspices, whiff of portwine, peppery. Sweet, spicy but a tad dull. Again port/madeira, but not really oxydized. Rosewater, spices. Thinned by age? Undercarbonated, still. Over its best, but interesting. 7/4/6/3/13 Thanks to Stef!

0,33 flaske delt på RBHD-treff ombord på Fridtjofen, april-18: lett uklar oransjegylden med kort storboblet skum. Mild duft av overmodne plommer, appelsinmarmelade, løsemidler og alkohol. Smaken likeså, med noe aprikosaktig i tillegg. Alkoholen varmer i magen. Svakt karbonert og lav bitterhet. Rather boring and really quite underwhelming.
