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.

Bottle pours out a brown with a little red high topped with a small bubble head. Aroma of light berries and a little wood. Tast more of the light berrie and some tartness. This was a little to bubbley for me. Have to say one of my least favorate Cascade Sours.

Bottle Pours out a cloudy golden Orange topped with a white head. Aroma of grape juice and a little spice. Tast was about the same green grapes with some tart on it. I tasted it late in the night and it was a little better that the fresh pour maybe it grows on you a little.

Tap @ Raccoon Lodge (Midwinter Red): Dark copper pour with a thin beige head. Aroma is a light floral hop with some earthy and bready notes. Light rye presence. Flavor is dark and malty with a little more roast. Some citrus and floral comes out, but it retains more of an earthy feel.
