Cask DEYA

While walking back to the station in London yesterday I popped into the Craft Beer Co bar on Endell street, they usually have some interesting beers on and true to form they had this beauty! "My Brain is Full of Salsa" is a pale ale made by Cheltenham guru's DEYA and was (unusually) available from cask (rather than keg) This is the more traditional serving format in the UK, i.e. allowing the beer to naturally ferment in the cask for a few days prior to serving at slightly under room temperature. The result is more best bitter like, i.e. soft, no spikey carbonation (flatter) and very easy to drink. All the flavours were there though and this example used one of my favourite hops, Simcoe, it was lush! Dank and fruity with a really lingering finish, I could have stayed for a couple of these easily but unfortunately had a train to catch, ah well, there's always next time.
