American Solera Caballo Azul: A Luxurious Blueberry Ale
Just when you think you’ve tried every possible variety of ale, something like the American Solera Caballo Azul comes along to surprise you. A farmhouse ale aged in oak tanks with blueberries, it transcends the typical definitions of ale to create a taste experience that will charm even the most discerning of beer aficionados.
Aroma: 11/11
My first impression of Caballo Azul was its incredible aroma—one that immediately sets it apart. As soon as I got a whiff of it, the rich, refreshing scent of blueberries immediately hit my senses. But this isn’t just any blueberry aroma; it’s tart and inviting, not overly sweet, and it carries with it an intriguing hint of barn wood. Old barn wood, to be exact. It’s like one moment you’re preparing to sip an ale, while the very next moment you’re taking a stroll through a rustic farmyard where blueberries abound.
Appearance: 3/3
Of course, aroma isn’t everything—an ale needs to look inviting too. And in this regard, the Caballo Azul doesn’t disappoint. From the moment it’s poured, it simply commands attention with its deep, mysterious hue that convincingly whispers of tangy, juicy blueberries.
Flavor: 19/19
As for the flavor, well, this ale excels just as brilliantly. The fresh blueberry flavor is bold and prominent, but it doesn’t overwhelm. It lingers deliciously into the aftertaste, where it mingles with surprising hints of melon and stone-fruit esters. The result is a flavor profile that’s complex, well-rounded, and simply begging to be eagerly explored glass after glass.
Mouthfeel: 5/5
The Caballo Azul holds nothing back when it comes to mouthfeel either. As you sip it, there’s a tannic astringency that adds a unique structure and body to the ale. It’s a welcome addition that perfectly balances out the fruity sweetness, keeping the ale pleasantly grounded.
The Editors’ Thoughts
While my thoughts on the Caballo Azul were considerably enthusiastic, it turns out that I wasn’t the only one swept away by this brew. The editors’ reviews were glowing as well—from the “minty blueberry in the aroma” to the “wine grape” undertones. The earthy berry notes, fluid tannic structure, and a touch of juniper-berry bitterness all combine to create a luxurious, sweet-spicy-earthy trifecta that’s simply irresistible.
In Conclusion
With a total score of 93 out of 100, the American Solera Caballo Azul is a sterling example of what a farmhouse ale can be when made with care, precision, and a good dose of creativity.
