In the summer of 2020, Rush and Henderson began taste testing many prototype brews and early in 2021 the band and the brewery both felt they had come up with a brew they could stand behind. Subtly complex, refreshing and satisfying and uniquely Canadian, as the beer gets its taste from Canadian ingredients, including Rye.
“Rush Canadian Golden Ale is golden in colour with a dense ivory head. It has an earthy aroma with hints of orange-peel, pine and spicy rye. While the emphasis is on refreshment, there are elements of pine, rye spice and a citric hop flavour that add to the subtle complexity of the beer,” remarked Alex Lifeson, the band-proclaimed Beer Scientist.

Smooth, malty and slightly bready with some ripeish fruits, citrus, spices, grapefruit and grass, hints of earthiness and yeastiness, slightly funky. Surprisingly complex and balanced. -.-- -.-- --..

500 ml bottle. Pours a dull amber with light head. Aromas of dry stoned fruit, other muddled fruit, maybe some dull esters, and bready malts. Flavors are pretty much the same though brighter, with some clearer apricot and candied citrus.

473ml can. Pours a clear gold orange with a small, foamy, short lived, off-white head that laces. Mild aroma of grainy caramel malt, orange and grassy hops. Sweet, spicy flavour of bready rye malt, caramel, orange peel and herbal hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average to soft carbonation. Clean and easy to drink. Not bad for a boring style.

Rush beer. On tap at YYZ. Is there anything more perfect? This one is for you, Professor.

Clearish gold with a decent white head. Light apple and baking spice. Much like the nose.
