What setting causes my autoindent to add indent on a new line?

Question

I have this go code snippet that I am working on in vim with vim-go enabled. | is where my cursor is at.

// PlayerServer is a HTTP interface for player information
type PlayerServer struct {
        store  PlayerStore |
        router *http.ServeMux
}

When I hit return, the cursor goes 8 spaces indented in the next line.

// PlayerServer is a HTTP interface for player information
type PlayerServer struct {
        store  PlayerStore 
                |
        router *http.ServeMux
}

What setting should I be looking at to see what causes this?
