What's the pseudo real ale treatment? A 2ml shot of what?
You just take a syringe body, draw up a little bit of the beer, and "shoot" it back into the glass from a couple of inches above.
It rouses the beer in a similar way to a sparkler on a handpump and gives a great head on even a very low carbonated beer, like a cask ale. It should look a little like a freshly poured guinness.
Try cracking one of your slightly under carbed APAs and giving it a go, you'll see what I mean. Although APAs do taste a bit flabby if they are under carbonated.
I was really careful and only drew up a couple of ml of Fents beer to shoot back into the glass, because his wasn't undercarbed at all. It was just too cold. As it was I very nearly lost a bit of foam over the side of the glass.
