Olvalde Farm The Auroch's Horn Aged on Rhubarb

Olvalde Farm The Auroch's Horn, aged on rhubarb, What? Come On! No way! Tell us more…Ale brewed with honey, with rhubarb added, lightly hopped, unfiltered, refermented in the bottle, Olvalde Farm and Brewing Company, Rollingstone, Minnesota. Not a word of gobbledygook, but what about….nope, no ABV given. Probably 10%, as is the regular AH.

Hazed, golden hue, slim head, soon gone.

Aroma: pleasantly sour and fruity right out the gate. A little sweet, then funky as all heck. And it's rhubarb, all right. So let's drink it.

Taste: Starts lean-bodied, and bright like any good golden, then the rhubarb flavor kicks in, and it is unique. Damn, it's unique. Who's ever heard of a rhubarb beer? It's incredibly tasty, and refreshingly tart. Beautiful fruit flavor.

I hate a lot of rhubarb growing up, since it was always growing in our family garden. This brings back happy memories.

Long, fruity aftertaste. Little hops, clean malt, we're mainly tasting the rhubarb, for it fairly dominates the golden ale below. The rhubarb flavor keeps rolling back, drink after drink, a flash of sour. Utterly delicious.

Only thing is: I don't know when this was released or how old it is. I sure hope they make it again, though. Wonderful beer.
