From tap at Cascade Barrel House, Portland. 2015 vintage. Aroma is fairly complex with a lot of zesty citrus peel on the front, mandarin, tangerine, apricot, oak, vanilla. Flavour is big sour flavour, nicely puckering sour. Body is medium. Big zesty citrus peel complemented by soft Bourbon vanilla with a strong puckering sour flavour, really good!

2015 bottle. Pour hazy blood orange into a tulip. White head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Apricot and funk aromas. Sharp and tart with tangerine and apricot upfront turning to lactic peel and pith in the dry, medium length finish.

(Thank you!) Sampled draft @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2017. Nice name nod to a spectacular band. Orange hazy. nose is vinegar nail polish USA oak, acidity. Toot vinegar, tangerine vinegar, zest, nail polish, this one is too much for me. Vinegar body. Fair but not their best. Lol there is vanilla in this?

3/XII/17 - on tap @ Billies Craft Beer Festival - BB: n/a (2017-2090) Thanks to the Belgian, Dutch and German ratebeerians for sharing today's beers!
Clear orange beer, small creamy off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: very funky, dirty, infected, urinals, weird and bad stuff going on here. Really, what's going on with all those Cascade beers? Worst "brett" ever... MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very bitter start, incredibly acidic, way too sour, metallic, lemon juice, bitter tannins, bah. Aftertaste: more of the same, very acidic, metallic, vinegar. Seriously... A lambic lover as I am, I cannot for the world imagine how anyone can actually enjoy this kind of infected stuff...

750 c&c shared by Marcus. Pours translucent copper with beige bubbles. Aroma is tangerine with perhaps a bit of zest. Med body. Flavor is sourish tangerine with a bit of bourbon. Oak is present in a mild sense. A little apricot is detectable. Really tasty.
