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.

(2014 tap sample @ MBCC 2017 Red Session, Copenhagen) Pours murky dark red with a white head. Notes of quite tart cherries, currants, citrusy lactic acid, light vinegar tones, overripe fruit, barnyard funk, lightly oaked, a little marzipan cherry pit quality, sour overall with a semi-dry tart finish. Medium body, moderately carbonated. Not bad at all, cherries are definitely showing pretty well but the acid profile isn't one I love so much.

Tap at Au Trappiste. Pours darkest, almost black red with a white foam. Aroma is cherry, stones, funk, but the cherry aromas really open up after a while. Body is medium, cherries, but not as fruity as Belgian lambics often are. Clean sourness with a different kind of funk. Discreet but lively carbonation. Dryish palate. Good, not as intense as a typical Kriek would be. Rather straightforward and simple.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Cloudy red cherry color. Mild aroma of cherry pits, some cherry juice, some sourness. Smooth mouthfeel, lean body; good malt base for a Sour, moderate cherry flavor, not juicy, no pit tannins; medium sour level; the finish is lemony and a bit astringent. Possibly, some acetic acid in the end.
Nice and clean, but with no depth.
