Winter Seasonal. Brewed with 4 types of cherries, aged in oak for one year.
Cascade Kriek Ale spends over 6 months of lactic fermentation and aging in small oak barrels. This "Belgian Flanders Style Red Ale" is refermented with a blend of fresh whole Northwest cherries and then hand bottled. Cascade Kriek Ale is bottle fermented and should be refrigerated or stored at cellar temp and served at 45 to 50 degrees.

2011 keg at the Barrel house. Huge cherry pie and sour cherry nose, vanilla yogurt. Cloudy dark crimson. Creamy vanilla and cherry yogurt flavor, cinnamon. Amazing. Light to medium sourness, great balance. Wonderful cherry flavor. Best outside of Belgium.

On tap at Cascade Tasting Room, split with Matts_Property, pours a cloudy orangey red with a big beige head. Aroma of tart cherries, currant and cinnamon. Flavour of cinnamon, tart cherries, black currant and worcestershire sauce. Finishes citric tart and spicy. Decent.

Nice oaky sour cherry aroma with musty woody accents. Hazy rust, thin yellow head. Powerfully tart, less woody, with a near exclusive sour cherry flavor. A brief lactic appearance in the finish. Very well crafted and executed, if not a bit overboard with the sourness.
