Eggchaser’s English Golden Ale boasts brawny amounts of new school English hop character. Harlequin hops were used all throughout the brewing process to really let it’s contributions shine. Aromas of watermelon, lychee, cucumber, and lemon zest throughout. Highly drinkable, you’ll find ripe honeydew, mint, and peach flavors supported by an English malt bill that adds hints of straw, honey, and biscuit dough. Perfect for watching the Harlequin rugby club or a refreshing afternoon in the garden.
Style: English Golden / ABV: 4.5% / IBU: 25
History:
A hop-forward, average-strength to moderately-strong pale bitter. Drinkability and a refreshing quality are critical components of the style.
This is a well-hopped, quenching beer with an emphasis on showcasing hops. Served colder than traditional bitters, this style was originally positioned as a refreshing summer beer, but is now often brewed year-round. Although early on the beers were brewed with English hops, increasingly American citrus-flavored hops are used. Golden Ales are also called Golden Bitters, Summer Ales, or British Blonde Ales. Can be found in cask, keg, and bottle.
