Commercial Description:
Gold Yeller is a blend of blond ales that underwent up to a year of lactic fermentation and aging in French oak wine barrels. These barrels were all pretty soft as far as sour is concerned. But we liked the blend and served it all on draft.

On tap at Uber’s Cascade Night (and Brouwer’s Sour Fest). Pours cloudy golden amber with a nice white head. Nose is a standard funky sour, but taste is drastically different- fruit, honey, caramel malt. Finishes with a lingering tartness. Interesting and delicious.

Consumed at Uber Tavern sitting at the "exclusive" party table. Some really cool dudes were in attendance including after4ever, homebrewcolin, BRUUUCE!, bvc, suzygreenberg, and some guy that didn’t like my motivational sweatshirt. If I ever see you again your are done! We were also sitting with Ron and Preston - those guys are really cool. My girlfriend wasn’t there. Orange golden pour, thin head, nice lace. Amazing aroma of acidic tartness, light barrel notes, and soft underlying fruitiness. Lightly tart flavors, somewhat fruity, quenching tart finish. Lightly acidic, soft sour lemon notes. Light wine barrel oak notes mixed in too. Nice bubblly carb adds to the quenching nature of this beer. This to me could be consumed all day to the point of it becoming problematic. An unbelievably awesome "session" sour at 8%. Ron’s beers just keep getting better. I loved it!

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 @ 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.

On tap for SBW Sour Fest; one of 16 tried. Pours an orangey peach with a white head and plenty of lacing. Aroma tart, brown sugar, vinegar. Fairly smooth palate. Perfect sour taste with apple flavors. Quite enjoyable.

4 oz. taster at the Seattle IBF. Pours a clear golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma has alot of barnyard must, lots of barrel and tart. Flavor is light, sweet and refreshing. Same characteristics as the aroma. Some under ripe fruits. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation.

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.

Draft at Uber. Crystal clear light gold with creamy bits of swirling froth. Tart, lightly lemony notes on the nose, combined with some crisp piney hop. Light body, well-placed soft carb. Not watery, but definitely not a heavy beer by any stretch--this is the summer session sour that, 8% aside, it was sketched out to be. Light tartness with a little bit of oaky funk and vanilla sweetness, combined with some crisp PNW hop near the end. Interesting, refreshing combination.
