Notes

Robin Hood Golden Ale is based loosely on Graham Wheeler’s recipe for Hop Back Summer Lightning, which the 2015 BJCP style guide credits with popularizing the style of British Golden Ale. Wheeler’s recipe is single malt (Pale ale malt), bittered with Challenger, and finished with late and post-boil Kent Goldings. Robin Hood is a SMaSH recipe with Thomas Fawcett Maris Otter as the malt and hopped exclusively with the new British hop variety, UK Archer. Golden Ales were originally created for summer and were meant to be more refreshing in warm weather than regular English bitters. As a result, they do not employ crystal malts and should be served colder than cellar temperature (54 F).
