My friend and I are about to make our first batch and he wants to do a Golden Ale. A local brewpub has one thats pretty good but they dont say what style it actually is and apparently there are ALOT of different ones. I found this recipe and wanted to get some opinions on it. Also if anyone has a good recipe they know of please let me know. Thank you.
