Recommend A Golden Ale Kit?

[shepp]

I just wondered if anybody can recommend a good golden ale kit which i can be served a bit cooler in the summer months?
Did you add anything to it which turned out well?
I'm a big fan of Summer Lightning at the pub, there's a Hop Back owned pub near me that does an excellent pint
Thanks Shepp

Hi,

I recently got a Linthwaite Light kit from Brupaks..... I think thisis supposed to fit the bill that your talking about but i've not brewed it yet so can't really commnet.

Has anyone else brewed this one? Whats the feedback?

Both sound good, i'll take a look

I have the Linthwaite Light almost finished fermenting now. To be honest it was a random choice whilst in the local HB shop but a cheeky lick of the hydrometer after a reading suggested it should be a very pleasant mild summer ale...

Woodforde's Great Eastern, especially with an ounce of Cascade thrown in the barrel/secondary for a week is absolutely lovely.

Only problem is that it's best after a longer period of cool conditioning and then tastes so good it doesn't hang about long!

Midas Touch is good too, but I've done Great Eastern twice and would again.

Im doing a Midas Touch just now , it has been conditioning for 3 weeks now but will let you know if its as good asthey say in a week or two. If it is as good as they say - wont be around for long

I'll be interested to hear.
