Golden Ale- Mayflower Brewing Company

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!
