| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 6, 2009 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. harrisoni (6830), Ashford, Kent, England
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 5, 2009 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. craftbeerdesign (760), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA
