Beer #2 of the backswing Series of Beer Reviews.
Apparently there's a soccer team around here that I was unaware of. Named the Bugeaters (the original name of what became the Cornhuskers). Also note the spelling of "golden" as "goalden".
A golden ale, also called a "blonde ale" is what you might call you basic, no frills ale. No flavorings, no resuscitation of long forgotten beer styles from obscure towns in Germany or Scotland.
Bugeaters is one of those ales that has absolutely nothing wrong with it, yet aren't memorable. It pours a hazy amber with a head that is so tall I ran out of fingers to measure it. The ABV of 5.5% allows you to safely have more than one. 17.5 IBUs is pretty low on the bitterness scale. I categorize Bugeaters as a dry ale, no hint of sweetness, and really, not hint of any others flavors other than ale flavor. Not that that's a bad thing.
