Ale Ziggy Zoomba Light Ale

Category: American Style Golden Ale

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 5.1%
Light golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of green apple Skittles, lemongrass, and honey simple syrup with a satiny, tangy, spritzy, dry medium body and an interesting, breezy finish with notes of lemon zest on bread, spun sugar, apricot, and white flowers with lots of green stems. Sweet and malt forward but well balanced; a solid sessionable Golden Ale.

American Style Golden Ale

True to their name, American style golden ales are golden to light copper in color and range from 4-5.5% in alcohol. They have a more subtle overall character and lighter body in comparison to typical pale ales and do not contain the same fruitiness of English ales. The most important qualification is that they are brewed domestically. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Fish Tale Organic Blonde Ale, Kona Big Wave Golden Ale and Half Acre Gossamer Golden Ale.
