Golden Ale
It was early 2004 when the Amarillo Hop variety (from Washington State, USA) first appeared in Australian brewing stores. This exciting new hop caused an immediate frenzy amongst 'hophead' brewers and quickly became the go to hop (in the USA) for big American ales, IPAs, Double IPAs, etc. With such a strong following, it wasn’t long before Amarillo popped up under Australian commercial beer labels, often referred to as 'Golden Ale'. This lighter version of the English Pale Ale style, with Amarillo as its niche hop, quickly became popular. Now, Australian Golden Ales (although not always brewed with Amarillo hop) carry a 'quasi' beer style status and are known for being aromatic and flavour-some with a clean finish and high drinkability. This recipe looks to capture the essence of Golden Ale; displaying a tightly packed white head with aromas of orange, melon and stone-fruit, subtle sweet malt/hop flavours followed by a clean bitter finish.
