Golden ale

Brewed summer 2023. I had wanted to brew an English golden ale for quite a while. I even built up yeast from a few cans of Civil Life Angel and the Sword. The yeast took off but I didn’t get around to using it right away and it later seemed to take on a sour flavor so I discarded it. I used US-05 instead. Pretty simple beer but it tasted good. I’m not sure it’s one I would brew again, at least with US-05. Some English yeast character would help a lot.
