Pikes Peak Brewing Co. Gold Rush
Pikes Peak Brewing Co. Gold Rush is a vibrant Belgian Golden Strong Ale that captures the essence of a prospector's reward. The 8.7% ABV is elegantly masked by a profile driven by traditional Belgian yeast and the addition of candi sugar. It presents a sophisticated interplay of pome fruit esters and spicy phenols, specifically clove and baking spice, over a delicate, honey-like malt foundation. The fermentation character is primary, delivering a remarkably dry and effervescent experience that cuts through its strength, while herbal hop notes provide a crisp, clean counterpoint. This ale strikes a masterful balance between its potent strength and a delicate, sparkling drinkability.
Appearance. Gold color (approx. 5-6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Highly effervescent with a massive, rocky, long-lasting white head that leaves significant Belgian lace on the glass as it fades.
Aroma. High intensity bouquet featuring complex fruity esters of pear and apple. A distinct spicy phenol presence of clove and baking spice mingles with a soft, peppery alcohol note. The malt aroma is nearly neutral with a faint hint of grainy honey, complemented by a low herbal and floral hop character.
Taste. The initial impression is crisp and fruity, followed by a light, honeyed malt sweetness that yields to a very dry finish. Flavors of pear, clove, and subtle pepper are prominent. Bitterness is medium-high and firm, accentuated by the dry attenuation and lingering into a clean, spicy aftertaste. The candi sugar ensures a lean profile without cloying sweetness.
Mouthfeel. Light to medium body, feeling significantly lighter than the gravity suggests. Very highly carbonated and effervescent. Noticeable, smooth alcohol warmth provides a pleasant glow without being solventy or harsh.
