250 ml can shared by my friend Chris at a tasting. The pour is a hazed copper dark golden with basically no head. The aroma is berry, tart lemon all bright and clean. The taste is tart lemon, lemon fruit sweetness and fruit from what I assume is the Marion berry, fruit skin, earth and more of the lemon to the back. Nice integration of flavors. The palate is medium to light bodied with soft carbonation and tart citrus in the finish. Nice one.

250 ml can shared by my friend Chris at a tasting. The pour is a hazed pink, copper with a limited to no head. The aroma is bright raspberry fruit, tart with some citrus acidity. The taste punches you in the face with bright sour tart raspberry, along with a touch of vinegar. The palate is medium bodied with soft to low carbonation and a big tart sour finish. Good but crazy tart and sour - fun to have a Cascade beer again, it had been years.

Гипер кислый эль, прям лимон аж сводит скулы, при глотке кислота долго остается на языке, есть персики и нектарины также.

On tap at Chuck’s Greenwood, pours a deep dark mahogany brown with a small beige head. Aroma is quite acetonic, with plenty of barrels, sourness, acetic notes, and citrus. Flavour is very sour but somehow avoids being prohibitely acetonic, with some spices, tartness, oak, and vinous notes. Been a while since I had a Cascade, and I almost forgot how abrasively sour they could be. Cohesive and reasonably constructed but far from an elite BA sour.

Bottle pour at the DCBeer December 2025 share. Poured a slightly cloudy amber-red color, still a small, off-white head. Aroma was still sharp sour notes after all these years. Tart, and sour. Not a lot of pumpkin, but a decent amount of sour, tart malts. Really nice and sweet. Liked this one quite a lot. Really held up well after over a decade from when it was bottled.

2015 bottle at home, 20th December 2025. Pours an orange pink, aroma is apricots and some funk with berry. Taste is tart, apricots, some raspberry, funky and refreshing, with good complexity

Bottle pour, deep Greyson ruby red. Deep sour yeast and cherry aroma. Mouth puckering sour, deep cherry pie notes with grape must, yeast and wet flannel blanket. Excellent!

500mL bottle, from random liquor store in CT, sitting upright on the warm shelf at 8 years old, drunk 11/19/25. As pictured.
Well, that's not great. The cork comes out with literally zero noise and the beer is very nearly flat.
Doesn't smell bad or oxidized, though. Just a lot of grape with a hint of bourbon and oak. Fruity, juicy, lots of mineral. Some maltiness even. No alcohol or big acidity, though there's light acetic and moderate lactic.
Well, just goes to show the resilience of barrel aged beer. Almost no carbonation (not none, though, but incredibly low), and yet it's in fine shape. Very wine-like, with guarded acetic and rounded lactic acidity. Soft bourbon and soft, buttery oak with a chewy texture remaining somehow. You get a good deal of fruitiness, but everything is so well-homogenized at this point that you can't even definitively say there are cherries or spices in this.
