Golden Ales, 6 x 500ml

Product Information

So what is real ale? The advocates at the Campaign For Real Ale (CAMRA) recognise it as ‘live’ cask-conditioned beer served from a hand pump, or conditioned in a bottle or can. The term was coined as a counterpoint to the influx of processed, artificially-carbonated, mass produced beers that once flooded the UK market. Ale is typically fermented at temperatures between 15 and 24°C (60 and 75°F). At temperatures above 24°C (75°F) the yeast can produce significant amounts of esters and other secondary flavour and aroma products, and the result is often a beer with slightly "fruity" compounds resembling those found in fruits, such as apple, pear, pineapple, banana, plum, cherry, or prune.

British Golden Ales, also known as British Summer Ales or Golden Bitters, share similarities with American Golden Ales and Blonde Ales. They are known for their balanced malt and hop flavors, often with a slightly fruity or floral character. British Golden Ales typically have a medium body and a golden to amber color. The bigger brewers are under pressure from younger drinkers who don’t want to drink what dad drinks, and if dad drinks stout they’ll have something different,” said Roger Protz, editor of the Good Beer Guide. “And Guinness has had to respond to that. It had to create something that appeals to younger drinkers. Golden ale has attracted younger drinkers who tended to be bypassed by the older independent family brewers, whose beers didn’t appeal to younger drinkers. I think golden ale has done a tremendous job of attracting young people into the market.” Overall, a golden ale is simply a blonde ale going by a different name. Whether the beer style will continue to evolve and eventually become its own unique style of beer remains to be seen (it should be noted that the BCJP currently only defines a British Golden Ale). Then the yeast is added to start the fermentation process. Carbonation follows once the beer is fermented and fallen clear, as they say in brewing speak. Carbonation, adding carbon dioxide, accentuates the crispness of the beer. Is Golden Ale A Pale Ale? Finally, it’s essential to highlight the original Belgian Golden Ale style, renowned for its fruity and complex notes achieved through the specific type of Belgian yeast used during brewing source. This Old World style serves as a foundation for other contemporary golden ales, and its continued popularity speaks to its enduring appeal.

Belgian Golden Ale, specifically the Belgian Golden Strong Ale, differs dramatically from its American and British counterparts. These beers are known for their high alcohol content, ranging from 6-10% ABV, and their complex flavors of fruit, spice, and yeast. Belgian Golden Strong Ales have a light, golden color and are often highly carbonated. Hops in Golden Ale provide balanced bitterness and contribute to the beer’s aroma. American Golden Ales may feature hops with citrusy or floral characteristics, while British versions tend to have a more earthy or herbal hop profile. Belgian Golden Ales tend to have a different role in the beer to balance out the beer’s complex flavors. Infrequently, to add some more color and complexity and lean British with the beer, Vienna, Munich, or under 5% of a malt like Biscuit can be an option.

One important resource for judging beer styles is the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP), which provides detailed guidelines for understanding and evaluating different beer styles, including Golden Ales. According to the BJCP, Golden Ales should have a straw-to-gold color, low to medium body with a crisp finish, and low malt sweetness with toast or cereal-like attributes present in flavor and aroma at low to medium-low levels. He continued, “We are located in the Golden Isles of Georgia, so our Golden Ale and Golden Isles IPA have to be balanced and differentiated.” “What is a Golden Ale?” is as confusing of a reality as a style can have

Lawson’s Finest Liquids Above the Clouds: There’s a lot of hops complexity here with bold citrus with a lemongrass focus. x Humdinger– Pouring a deep, golden colour with wafts of sweet honey, Humdinger is a multi-award winning speciality ale. The Mexican aroma honey comes through in subtle undertones and balances impeccably with the traditional bitter notes and malt. Brewed to 4.1% ABV.

He continued, “My take is that Golden Ales were beers for people who wanted lagers by people who didn’t feel comfortable brewing lagers. We have multiple excellent lagers and don’t need our Golden Ale to pretend to be something else. It’s brewed as a Golden Ale for people who want an ale and who want something very different from a hoppy American Pale Ale.”CookieYes sets this cookie to record the default button state of the corresponding category and the status of CCPA.

Their follow up release of a Golden Ale to the UK and Ireland market (only) with a beer hopped with Celeia (a triploid hybrid hop of Styrian Golding, Aurora and an un-marketed Slovenian wild hop) and a malty, biscuity flavor profile tells the marketing story. Would they launch that product in the USA at all? Would they change the name to Golden Pub Ale? Irish Golden?
