Mayflower Brewing Company
Golden Ale
2/15/15
Yes this week was a 2 beer week. I don't have a problem at all.
Brewery: Mayflower Brewing Co. Plymouth Mass
ABV- 4.7%
Source- from the bottle.
Look- It is just like the bottle says, Golden in color.
Smell- When I first took a whiff, I had a distinct smell of bread or something in that category. After taking a couple more there was the added aroma of bitter hops. The smell was not displeasing at all.
Taste- There is no real taste. If I had to compare it to something I would say it was a "light IPA". I imagine that this would taste great when the temperature was closer to 80 degrees F and not 10 degrees F. Oh well it is what it is.
Feel- It is quite carbonated. The burping started almost immediately as proof of that.
Opinion- I like IPA's and since I described this as "light IPA", I'd have to say I liked it. Is it something I would go out of my way to get, probably not. Would I drink it again, absolutely. It is a solid middle of the road beer. I'd give it 3 out of 5.
Side Note- Like the Iron Maiden Trooper beer, this also had a paragraph on the back about the history of the Mayflower landing. I liked that!
