Local taproom served me a summer ale with this description:
This wonderful summer brew is a light Golden Ale with just a hint of lemon. The beer has a light lemon aroma that carries through the flavor of this light thirst quenching brew. Especially tasty and enjoyable with hot and spicy foods! Brewed with Pale Ale Malt and Cascade and Columbus Hops.
And it was exactly what I wanted as a summer ale!
I'm looking through beersmith and I'm kinda confused, are summer ales/golden ales classified as Pale ales? Is there a guideline for golden ales?
I didn't really want to post this in the recipe section as I want to work up a recipe first then post it there. Anyone have any starting guidelines or ready made recipes that can give me a general starting direction on brewing this? I guess clarifying the beer's classification for beersmith would be an great first assisting step. Pale ale (it used that obvious malt) seems like a logical place.
Cheers!
Paul
