Rollingstoner, Ale breed with elder flowers, Unfiltered, lightly hopped & refermented in the bottle. Olvalde Farm and Brewing Company, Rollingstone, Minnesota. Belgian pale ale, 5% aBV.
Clear, bright golden, slim, soon-settled white head.
Wild, weird and funky aromatics. Lightly sour, and likable. Ah...
In the mouth: smoothness, lightness, and tastiness. Mmm. Light body, some spices, stone fruit. A touch of tropical. Good dose of yeast, as well. Altogether deliciousness.
Yet another fine one from Olvalde Farms. Keep them coming, Joe!
Here's something from their website about this one: Rollingstoner is a golden-colored ale brewed with water, barely malt, corn, elder flowers, hops, and yeast.
If you've ever driven down Highway 61 in the summer, you'll recognize my inspiration for the beer: lowlands filled with corn fields and lined with white-flowered elderberry bushes.
Like all Olvalde ales, Rollingstoner is an unfiltered real ale - fermented in the package - brewed without the use of processing aids.
Tasting Notes:
Light yet complex with fruit, floral, spice, and white pepper notes.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve cold or at cellar temperatures.
Pour with or without the lees; a good way to distribute the lees is by pouring the first half of the bottle, gently swirling the bottle, and then finishing the pour.
