Cascade Gold Yeller

Brewed by Cascade Brewing @ Raccoon Lodge
Style: Sour Ale
Portland, Oregon USA

On tap at Brouwer’s Sour Fest. Poured a slightly cloudy pale orange color with a ring of head. The aroma was muted sour apple with a raspberry edge that might have been more grape from the wine barrels. Creamy palate was very nice.

On tap at Belmont. I’m not sure if this is the case, but this sort of tastes like the base beer for Apricot. Pretty decent overall, medium sourness to the finish, softer acidity, hints of citrus and lightly woody. Could use a bit more dryness. Pours gold with a tall smooth white head.

On tap @ Belmont Station. Hazy golden color with a thick rocky white head. Mild mix of malt and a light suggestion of acetic tartness on the aroma. Taste is slightly tart, slightly sweet, and thankfully doesn’t get overly fruity. Struck me as being a sessionable sour golden. I really liked this one.

Another great wild ale from Cascade Brewing. Tap @ Belmont Station... Poured golden with a thick white head. Tart aroma with a little earthiness candy-like sugars. Smooth palate with a light carbonation. A nice sourness to the flavors with earthy vegetable notes and very sweet wine and oak or other wood characters.
