Brooklyn Bright Golding

Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: English Strong Ale
Brooklyn, New York USA

On tap. Poured a deeper golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of floral, buttery, and lightly fruity. The butteriness became stronger as I drank this one. Tastes of floarl, fruity, lighter butteriness, and some dough. Light alcohol finish.

pint @ Tyler’s Durham. Good aroma, sweet. Doughy, cheese danish, butter, minor grass streak. Clean golden orange color, good head & lacing. Sweet bitter flavor, More sweet than bitter. Lite body, thin creamy mouthfeel, bitter finish. Huh liked this more than I was expecting, Very enjoyable.

Sampled 1/5/8 at Delaney’s in New Haven. Light hop aroma with a slight amount of fruity grains. Clear golden color with a medium white head with good lacing. Mild Belgian start with a bitter hop finish. A little body.

On tap at Tyler’s, Durham. A nice surprise, this one. Poured into a snifter, it’s a lovely golden color with moderate carbonation. A bright floral aroma is immediately apparent, and this is borne out in the tasting, with a real hop vibrancy and a quirky but winning finish of tropical fruits and a tad of butter. Combines the perky qualities of a fine pilsner with the flavor of a nice Belgian blonde. English strong ale? Why not?!

Had on draft poured to a golden color with a small white head.Aromas were of citrus,hops.The taste also had citrus and biscuit,similar to some pilsner styles,with a dry finish.Not too bad.

Nearly clear golden orange. Aroma is rich goldings. Very spicy, somewhat sweet malts to compliment. Rich Golding flavor, medium bodied, lotsa hop flavor with a fairly sweet finish. Quite enjoyable even if it lacked complexity.

The aroma was earthy with a mdoerate level of caramel and a bit of diacetyl. Bright hop aroma coupled to a bit of spice. The beer arrived clear golden with a white frothy tall head which laced the glass. The flavor contained an earthy nature with some caramel character and a decent level of bittering with some EKG hop flavor. The finish was dry with a lasting mineral flavor into the aftertaste. The body was medium-full with a moderate level of carbonation and a creamy texture on the palate. The alcohol level in this beer was never apparent. A nice beer but just a bit boring. Sniffer at Tyler’s.

Draught @ Goodbar. Gold, thin white head. Nose is light butter, doughy malt, a hint of spring flowers & fruit. Flavor is wonderful raw malt (very clean), a hint of bublegummy fruit and a light summer breeze of hops. More of that dough/malt in the finish. Awesome!
