Canned Feb 3, 2022, drunk 7/31/2025.
Mostly clear, peachy-golden. Small, off-white head quickly to edge.
Pinch of acetic, with strong lactic and still a juicy, lovely pear character. Buttery oak helps soften the acidity and it comes out nice and rounded, for the most part.
Soft with some biscuit and bread. Not as much acidity as the nose lets on. Pear is juicy and fruity, very authentic. Good acidity and oak, but not too much of either. Soft, malty texture, good attenuation and balance. Man, Cascade makes such balanced beers. What a sad loss, though I guess they had a good run, before true sour beers went bye bye.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours translucent/dirty gold with a slight creamy, transient white head. Pear wafts from the pour. Besides pear there's some tart/sour pear skin. Med body. Flavor is tart/sour pear/pear skin. Dry. The tart/sour level is very, very approachable. Notes of apple and melon in the finish. And then astringent wood aspects finally get their opportunity to show. Delicious.

On tap at Cascade, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of tart pear skins, lots of mustiness, and oak wine. Flavour reveals a lot of tart pear, musty pear skins, vinous notes, and medium acidity. Integrated well — they got a lot out of the pears. Good stuff.
