Her Magesty's Quaff (British Golden Ale - PM, PV, SB)

[BigPapaG]

I'm thinking of brewing this British Golden next...

This will be a Partial Mash, Partial Volume, Short Boil recipe, topping off to 5 gallons at the end.

I might up the biscuit to two ounces or change it out for toasted victory at one or two ounces...
Don't think I want to add too much as it should be a clean flavor profile, letting the hops shine...
There is already a good amount of character from the MO malt.

Thoughts?

I personally like something spicy as a foil against Citra when I used it. (Citra is not my favorite hop, I like it mostly in Wheats with a spicy yeast)

I think the Goldings sweet/floral notes might amp up the Citra fruity notes. But that might be exactly what you are looking for?

But because of that, I might personally use Styrians with the Citra if I was going t do it, because of my tastes.

But I've never used British Ale II, so I don't know what that brings to the party.

See, feedback is so important...

This is a style that I have not brewed yet, using a yeast I have not used, and a combination of U.K. and American hops that I have only tried once before and it wasn't Citra...

I was worried a bit about the sweeter floral notes but also wanted some of that with the Citra...

Since I do have some English Fuggles, perhaps I will back out some EKG and add some of that...

Might even exchange the Citra for Centennial, although I do love Citra...

I also have not used British Ale Ii but did like the description provided by Wyeast, and it seemed to fit the bill for the style.

"A classic British ale profile with good flocculation and malty flavor characteristics. It will finish crisp, clean and fairly dry."

I chose it for profile, high floc, dry, malty but crisp and clean.

Hope it works...
