I've looked around the forum a bit for a golden ale recipe to try for my first beer but haven't found much info. It seems you guys enjoy the IPA's and I just haven't acquired the taste for them yet. Maybe with time! The beer I'm trying to recreate is an ale from my local brewpub that I used to enjoy when I could drink real beer.
Here's the description:
A golden colored ale with crisp malt character and a slightly spicy hop aroma. We use a good amount of wheat and some German malt in this one to give it a very refreshing taste. Avenue Ale is a true session beer, so sit down and prepare for a long one.
Since I've never brewed beer (I've done some cider before) I'm kind of flying by the seat of my pants here. The recipe I've cobbled together is this:
2 lbs 10 oz brown rice syrup
2 lbs 6 oz sorghum syrup
1 lb soft candi sugar - blonde
3/4 oz cascade hops at 60 mins
1/2 oz saaz hops at 30 mins
1/4 oz saaz hops at 15 mins
1 pack of US-05 yeast
Any thoughts? Seems like it shouldn't be to bitter from what I've read but I'm not sure about the hop combo/schedule.
Thanks for any help you can give!
