I had a similar issue. This was my redis options:

redisOptions := redis.Options{
    Addr: "redis://localhost:6379",
    Password: "banana",
}

Removing the redis:// fixed it for me. Like so:

redisOptions := redis.Options{
    Addr: "localhost:6379",
    Password: "banana",
}

you don't need to specify redis:// in the address.
