Lost In A Cloud
4.5% American Pale Ale
This beer was brewed in collaboration with St Austell brewery and was fermented with their house yeast which was cool to get first hand experience of. We kept the base very simple and did a step mash with an aim to keep the base really refreshing and boost some foam potential (fingers crossed). We also used a large proportion of UK hops Phoenix and Bramling Cross, in the whirlpool with a little bit of Citra. We really like the layered structure UK hops bring. Because they are low bitterness and low oil, you can be quite heavy handed with them to boost the body and structure of the beer. We dry hopped the beer with Citra, Strata and HBC 586 for lots of sweet tropical fruit and a touch of light berry. The St Austell yeast is definitely bringing its own character to the beer. Soft foamy sweets and a bit of marshmallow on the nose, lead to mango, peach and lemon from the hops. Juicy and refreshing!

This brews a bit different, it's not everyday you see a king of the UK craft scene collaborating with a legend of the English ale class and here it is with Deya of Cheltenham x St. Austell of Cornwall. It's got a very pale complexion and is totally hazy with minimal head. Beautiful on the nose, reminds me of Steady Rolling Man; light and effervescent with bright citrus zest and sweet soft fruits. Specifically...lemon zest, satsuma, pineapple, elderflower, mango, white grape and lychee. In the mouth it has impressive texture for a pale, almost chewy. Pillowy soft with a juicy middle and clean finish, though not a dry finish, the sweet fruit and elderflower trails off nicely. I believe St. Austell's contribution was mainly their yeast but also the approach to the boil...using English hops, Phoenix and Brambling Cross along with a bit of Citra. The brew was then dry hopped with our typical NEIPA hops resulting in low bitterness, sweet and juicy beer. When I say sweet don't take that too literally, it's not a soda pop! Overall it's light but with big texture, bright, juicy and hoppy. Really nice. The low ABV clearly hasnt hindered this brew in anyway and it's a shining example of how to make a pale ale. Theres no excuse for washed out boring pales when something like this can be done. It rivals Steady Rolling Man for me, my all time favourite pale. I hope this brew is repeated.
