Sep 30, 2009 9/29/09 notes: GABF session two. Overall, a strong, full-flavored Sour Ale, though not as balanced and tasty as Cascade’s other offerings. Aroma has soft tartness and peach. Flavors follow suit, with notes of oak-aging, apple and peach fruit, and vinegar acidity. Very good overall.

Sep 29, 2009 750 ml bottle - thanks bruce!! hazy light gold with thin white head; lots of spruce aromas at first with earthy sourness and white grapes; quite fruity and sweet with apples, grapes and spruce again; quite an interesting blend; had this 6 months prior at the brewery and was simply blown away; this time not so much; I think Ron said that cardamom was used in this batch, which might be where I’m getting the earthy spruce notes from

Sep 23, 2009 750ml bottle from 5000 and hannont, thanks guys, this was a real hit. Rating #69 (naha). Goldish with a hint of orange and a decent white head. Dry, tart and light fruit. Flavor had a nice tartness, some more fruitiness, a little like apple juice actually, real nice though overall. ꀟ)

Sep 20, 2009 hazy caramel colored pour with nice risiing white head. Aroma is an interesting mixture between sweet tart candies and urinal cakes, some funk, reminds me of rabbid rabbit. Flavor is mildly tart, with grape accents, sweet tarts, smarties, alcohol is well hiddin, slight graniness in the finish then a lingering sourness. Nice body and carbonation. Not too shabby, but far from great.
