This is working as expected. When you print a time.Time value without formatting, it displays both the timezone offset and the timezone name. In your case the timezone has no name, so the time package is using the offset as the name.

If you want a different format, use the Format method.

Closing because there is nothing to do.

@ianlancetaylor problem is when I am trying to compare 2 times:
1st from database: "2008-01-03 00:00:00 +0100 CET"
2nd from unmarshall: "2008-01-03 00:00:00 +0100 +0100"
those 2 times are the same, but when I compare it, go says they are different

@gondo This issue is closed. For questions about using Go, use a forum; see https://golang.org/wiki/Questions . Thanks.

To compare two time values, use time.Equals.
