Brewmaster’s Notes
A version of an American golden ale that I found while on vacation with my brother in Hawaii. We drank a lot of it and I was upset when I had to leave and wouldn’t be able to get any more, so I brewed my own! I think this is close to a perfect summer ale with fairly low bitterness but very solid American aroma hopping to keep the hop heads (somewhat) satisfied. You can never satisfy all hop heads!!!
