This NW style sour blends soured tripel, blonde and golden ales that were then fermented with the juice of white wine grapes. It's a delicious offering that appeals to both beer and wine drinkers.

Medium sweet flavor with some grapes, decent funk, berries, acid and white wine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Clean, sour finish, lightly warming with modest, fruity sweetness.

23rd September 2010. Bottle shared with Mes&Sim.
Cloudy amber beer. No real head. Light funky nose. Crisp dry palate. Lightly sour and tart, turns soft in the mouth. Light worcester sauce sourness with a follow through of something sweeter - I guess the grape but I found it elusive. Does have winey aftertaste though! Nice drinkable sour, if only all sours were as drinkable!

Tasting at Papsø
Cloudy deep blond color; medium sized head. Herbal aroma, heather and rosemary, mild; light sourness. Sour fruity flavor, lemon, unripe plums, sour white wine. Correct bitterness, the final is quite citrusy, but somehow balanced. Well drinkable. Quite good.

Bottle @ Miami Fandango ’10 gathering, received via BA trade. pours hazy golden, thin white head. Aroma, mild wood/oak nose with grape goodness adding a white wine aspect. Flavors, just love Cascade’s sour approach, lots of barrel in this one, yeasty, give the beer a few minutes to warm up and the grape really comes more forward. All of this is meshed with the oak barrel, giving it a very unique blend of light white wine boozy mouthfeel mixed with a lingering tartness and a grape finish. This is outstanding quality.
