Pelican Brewing Releases Golden Pelican – Belgian-Style Golden Ale
The first release from Pelican Brewing Company in its new series of 750ml bottle conditioned Belgian-Style beers is Golden Pelican. This new Belgian-Style Golden Ale is brewed and bottle conditioned to reflect the Oregon Coast’s inspiring landscape and unique heritage.
Golden Pelican features an herbal, fruity and hoppy aroma, bright gold color, and a clean dry finish. Brewed as the first entry to our quarterly Belgian-Style release, Golden Pelican uses malted rye to emphasize the balanced spicy character inherent in the “Farmhouse” yeast. Generously dry-hopped with Aramis hops, the fresh herbal nose marries with the yeast-driven fruity/spicy aromas. A lean-bodied, toasty malt character supports copious amounts of hop flavor. Golden Pelican finishes with a clean, snappy balance of malt flavor, hop bitterness, and slightly tart, spicy yeast character.
