I'm a huge Rush fan and pretty much anything prog rock (if my username didn't give it away). Has anyone tried Henderson's new Rush themed beer, Canadian Golden Ale? What are your thoughts?
I found on their web sight the list of ingredients and was wondering if any of you guys/gals would help me formulate a recipe or have tried to clone it. I know I won't be able to since this beer isn't going to be shipped outside of Canada, but I'd like to try to brew a good tasting brew with the same ingredients. Here's their list:
Rush Canadian Golden Ale
OG 13.3 Plato, IBU 30, SRM 15 ABV 5.5%
Malts: 2-Row, Vienna, Flaked Rye, and Acidulated
Hops: Magnum and Sasquatch
Yeast: English Ale I
Description: Old gold, dense ivory head. Earthy, tea-like, orange peel, pine resin, spicy rye for the aroma. Orange, bread crust, caramel, black tea, spice notes. Medium bodied with lingering taste of pine and white rye bread. Piney/citric hop character with dry spicy bitter finish reminiscent of white rye bread.
I have Beersmith 2 but I doubt Sasquatch would be in the hop list under ingredients. I did find a list of substitutes from Beer Maverick as it seems Sasquatch hops are going to be hard to find. What would be the percentages on the grain bill? Hop additions amounts/times? US-04 for a dry yeast?
If anyone has a clone recipe after tasting the real thing, I'd love to see it. If not, what would you brew with those ingredients that would pay some sort of homage to the band?
Thanks in advance. I've been out of the hobby for a little too long. Hope I can spend more time in '22 learning/sharing. Happy New Year everyone.
