Beer Basics: What is.. Golden Ale?

Today we're looking into a sub-genre of pale ale that's worth a look, the Golden Ale. For this one, new camera and a new style of looking at beers.

I don't care much for alchohol BUT the history is very fascinating and I like your delivery of it and theology

Thanks! I try to aim my vids for people with little to no knowledge of them. Glad you're enjoying them. :)

I take it Boddingtons was the kind of the Golden Ales back then?

So a blonde ale has more hops than a golden ale.. right?...

[@CaskTheology]

Hi Cesar! The answer to your question is "Well yes.. but also no." Hops are a versatile thing and are used in beers for more than just flavour. Belgian Blonde ales like say, Duval, have a really hoppy/bitter influence on the taste. As I mentioned, the hops used in the British brew Fursty Ferret give it a more fruity flavor. One thing that both Blondes and Goldens share is the use of pale malts to get that beautiful golden colour. Maybe I should do an episode on Blonde ales, eh? ;)

Interesting! I was always told by my elders (at the pub) that Golden Ale is British and Blond Ale is Belgian / European.
