Red color with a fine pink head. Solid aroma. Lots of raspberries. Fine body and a fine carbonation level. Easy to drink. Rich sourness and acidity. Yet still quite balanced. If you do not like raspberry juice. Stay away from this one. Quite extreme oh yeah. But I like it. Also some vinegar and mild oak.
[Bottle at Oculus in Oslo, Norway]

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Dark purple color. The aroma is a bit vinous, with berries. Lean body, strong acidity, some raspberry juice, asteingent in the final.
Just a massively sour berry beer, no elegance or depth.

On Tap at BitterCreek Clear deep dark redish purple. Bright pink small head and lacing. Huge berry jam aromas and flavors. The moderate tartness is mixed with some mild earthy woody notes and a litel musty funk in teh tartness. Very good.

Bottle: Poured a dark reddish color ale with a large pink foamy head with light retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of tart raspberry notes with light oak notes is quite pleasant. Taste is a refreshing mix of dominant raspberry notes with plenty of tart notes and light vinous/oak notes also noticeable. Very minimal amount of residual sugar is noticeable. Body is full with good carbonation. Well brewed with good level of complexity.

On tap at St. Augustine during 1500 menu event with Alex. Pours a dark red with a rose head. Aroma is tons of raspeberry jam notes, amazing! Taste is sour with fermented raspberries notes and some fermented veggies, not even close to the aroma. Sour fermented raspberries aftertaste. Strange beer with excellent aroma and mediocre taste.

Bottle share with Henry.
Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a crisp semi-dark purple hue with a thin white cap softly dissipating to leave barely any lace.
The aroma had the tart to sweet blackberries up front, light lemon pulp and rind sweet and bitter tones, and some easy going sour acidity levels coming around to lighten the overall nose.
The flavor brought the tart to the sour to the sweet melding with the acidity and bringing in a little bit of woody sweet displacement. Acidic sour to tart blackberry sort of aftertaste flowing into the finish.
The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it as the acidity did start to get fairly heavy. Wasn’t too bothersome as the carbonation came to displace some of the tartness. ABV felt as projected.
Overall, pretty nice blackberry sour ale that I lucked out on to get to try. But the prices of Cascade seem to keep me away from more purchases.

No head, deep cardinal-red beer. Cherries, soaked and aged wood, alcohol. Sour cherries, (yes, rather than blackberry), cherrycake, quite tart. Acidthinning and -burn. Typical Cascade overly sour , but nice despite itself.

From 75cl bottle at Grand Cru, Rimini, Italy. Pours intense red with beautiful reflections, at least against the light. Aroma is strong on red fruits like blackberries and raspberries. Body is tendentially light, some astringency. Taste has some sweetness, and marked sourness. Finish is long.
