Description
Pucker Up & Join the Sour Revolution
Cascade Brewing has been a pioneer in the sour beer renaissance since 2006 and is the proud innovator of the Northwest Sour Ale. We are, by nature, the definition of artisanal brewing: we’re not bound by stylistic guidelines, just our own imagination and the ingredients we can access. Our distinctive sour beer blends feature fruit forward, barrel-aged ales that offer a complex array of flavors derived from Northwest grown ingredients, with each release capturing the unique subtleties of that year’s growing season. Our beers are brewed at our original brewery in Southwest Portland, then blended and aged at our nearby Blending House, which holds more than 1,300 oaks barrels and nine foudre tanks.

Almost two different layers in the mouth, with a light fruity tartness mellowed from the Cascade acetic hit I’d expect back in the day. Lots of wordiness, the berry still there.

2014 bottle. Pours blush into a tulip. Head quickly recedes to nothing. Apricot and plum aromas. Thick with tart apricot and plum front to back and into the dry, lactic berry finish. Pretty good for 10 years old...

Bottle, 0.50l, shared with Simona & David. Aroma of cocoa, leather, pepper, wood and funky red wine. Pours almost black color with thin quickly diminishing tan-like head. Taste starts with roasted malt, chocolate and mild cinnamon, following is tart funky vinous, red fruity and peppery, mouthfeel is smooth with well hidden ABV and warming finish. Full body, oily texture and soft carbonation in palate. Not a dangerous plague…

Pours clear garnet into a tulip. Blush head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Raspberry and blackberry aromas. Crisp and tart with aspirin, raspberry (and I assume marionberry) upfront turning to tart lemon before the lasting earthy crushed seed and pith finish.
