Winter is here and so is the time to lager great beer. I do like to lager during the winter months, due to the cooler temperatures. Making the big beers during the winter is just as much as fun as drinking them. I do however like to enjoy the traditional golden ale recipes to change it up a bit. I like to change up my golden ale recipes from time to time. I especially like adjusting the type and amounts of hops I use. Sometimes I like the hop bitter ales and then I shoot for the hop flavor without the bite. I used a Simcoe hop for the first time in this recipe and I really enjoyed the results. I had heard that Simcoe hops were full of flavor and bite and made an all around great finish no matter how you used them. This paticular ale had a honey taste with a great hop finish and low bite. This recipe has put this golden ale into my all time favorites. I will brew this quite often during the year to ensure I have plenty on tap. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do. PROST!!!
