Gayle craft ale is a very easy drinking ale that reminded me more of an IPA than a golden ale. It was created to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and it’s brewed using an Australian recipe by Brass Castle Brewery in Malton, North Yorkshire.
It’s bright golden in colour with a slight haze to it as there was a bit of sediment in the can. The off-white head holds well and laces the glass. It smells very fruity with notes of citrus and tropical fruit over a base of caramel, biscuit and malt.
The taste is lightly fruity, like lemon and passionfruit squash, with some sweet notes of caramel, malt and a tang of hops. There is a slight bitterness to the finish but there’s nothing at all bitter about the taste. It’s nicely carbonated to give a good tickle of the tongue and it has a thin but not watery body. ABV is a decent 4.5%.
It’s a very refreshing, vivacious beer that I really enjoyed. It scored a very respectable 38/50 on my beer score sheet and it’s one I would happily recommend, especially to anyone new to real ale. Ale Be Seeing You again!
