Market Garden Brewery - Brewzilla East Kent Goldings Ale

"brewed for the brewzilla beerfest"

Our third beer is the Brewzilla East Kent Goldings Ale, which has 48 IBUs and is 5.7% ABV.

"This ake is a collaboration among 14 local breweries all using the same basic recipe but each showcasing a different hop variety. Ours is made with East Kent Goldings, the classic hop of English ale brewing. We used the hops in the mash, multiple times in the kettle, and after boiling to really bring out the hop flavor and aroma qualities."

Overall average rating: 6.8/10

The beer is a yellow/light amber color with aromas of a lot of wheat and a little cardamom. The taste hits the back of the tongue. It is clean, but not sharp. There is a dull citrus taste, perhaps citrus oil? It finishes lightly citrus.

Shawn- It is smooth, crisp, and clean. The hops are very well-balanced, and it has good drinkability, 7/10.
Angela- I find this much more drinkable than the previous beer, and although it is still not a favorite of mine, I would drink it again, 6.5/10.
Chris- It starts well and the finish doesn't just die away; it is a really simple beer done well, 7/10.
