So, my brother in law was in from London this weekend and we did a taste test with the can of Deuchar's that Ryan was kind enough to send me.
First impressions were that Deuchar's out of a can has a significantly different taste than from the cask.
It also seems that the Golden Promise is really highlighted in Deuchar's and not as much in my Scottish Pale Ale. Do you know how they do it? I'm doing a mini-mash, so I won't have quite the amount of GP as an all-grain - but are there any other methods of really helping the flavor of the particular grain to come through?
Deuchar's has a citrus thing going on as well. I doubt they are adding anything special for this thought. Does anyone know how they get this flavor?
That said, I'm really enjoying this Scottish Pale Ale recipe I'm working on. I've brewed it twice with the 2nd attempt being an improvement over the 1st. I'll probably tweak it a little more and then post the recipe on the forum.
