The Auroch's Horn is a modern reinterpretation of ancient ale brewed throughout Europe more than two thousand years ago. Ale was a staple of the barbarian diet, with Roman historians documenting a beverage made with barley, wheat, and honey in Britannia, Gaul, and Germania. The ale was consumed from the horn of the auroch (or aurochs), a now extinct wild bull. Distinctly honey with complementing yeast, fruit, and alcohol notes. Well balanced. Golden with a brown hue from the honey and caramelization in the kettle. Thick frothy white foam. The Auroch's Horn is designed to be served at cellar temperatures, 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit. 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.

    Odd one this is. It separated in the bottle so I had to shake it lightly for about 10 minutes before opening. Pours an extremely hazy honey gold with an insanely huge head. The aroma and taste kinda reminds me of Hacker-Pschorr or similar , creamy with a slight sickly sour taste and a big hint of metallic aftertaste. Overall not bad. An acquired taste. Interested to see what this new brewery can come up with next.
