Pours a cloudy light to medium brown with an off-white head. Aromas of asian pear and dragonfruit. Flavor is refined and well balanced with sour grapes, green apple, and a funky tart finish. Very refreshing an well balanced - a pleasure to drink. It does, however lack the complexity of other sour ales...

Aroma is like tropical fruits, vanilla, and just a hint of light caramel. Flavor echoes this with a nice sourness balanced with some oak-y sweetness.

Bottle from City Beer in SF. Pours hazy golden in color with a fluffy white head. Aroma is very nice, fairly tart and lactic with white white, oak, and fruity esters. Flavor is lactic tartness, white grapes, oak, sour green apple, and citrus. Alcohol noticeable but not too much for the ABV. Palate nice and fairly acidic with medium body and somewhat high carbonation. Pretty good overall, but not the best from Cascade.

Bottle at Phil Lowry’s house. Cheers Phil. It definitely had some white wine grape character. It had decent sourness as well. Maybe a bit boozy, but the white wine grape character was very good and it did have some decent sourness to it as well. A beer that definitely stood out during a beer drinking day.

GABF 2009, day 1: Vinous and refreshing. Peppery spiciness, light sourness, hint of vanilla. Zingy sourness. Great stuff.
