Dan pops open his third from a mixed case from Montclair Brewery: Golden Buddha, a light-bodied golden ale brewed with passionfruit puree.
Montclair Brewery Golden Buddha
STYLE: Golden Ale
INGREDIENTS: Passionfruit puree
ABV: 6.33%
IBU: N/A
AVAILABILITY: 16 oz. cans/Draft (Seasonal)
Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and website.
Appearance
Hazy and golden in color, with a white, fluffy head.
Aroma
Passionfruit puree all the way with a hint of grain/yeastiness behind it.
Taste
Fruit continues on the palate, but is deftly balanced with the base recipe.
Mouthfeel
Refreshing and light-bodied but has a nice weight and mouthfeel.
Overall
This one would be a great porch-sipper or picnic/outdoor companion. Pairing-wise, fish tacos were my first thought, but a chicken salad with a nice slaw would work as well.
Cheers and remember:
Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
