Cascade Apricot Ale 2009Brewmaster Ron Gansberg based this Apricot Ale on a Belgian Tripel, putting it through 16 months lactic fermentation and aging in French oak wine barrels. The apricots were allowed to slowly ripen before introduction into the beer; the beer then aged another four months on the fruit before bottling. The finished product features the intense aroma of fresh-picked, slow ripened Northwest apricots warmed by the summer sun. 8.5% ABV, 750 ml bottle = $15.95 | Cascade Kreik Ale 2009Cascade Kriek is a Northwest Sour Red Ale refermented with a sweet blend of fresh whole Northwest cherries. The beer spent more than six months of lactic fermentation and aging in small French oak wine barrels before being hand-bottled. The beer benefits from two different styles of Northwest cherries: Blood red Bing cherries impart deep, rich currant flavors that complement the high soaring cinnamon flavors of sour pie cherries. 8.1% ABV. 750 ml bottle = $15.95 | Cascade Sang Rouge 2009Cascade Sang Rouge is a blend of Northwest Sour Red Ales. The beer spent up to two years of lactic fermentation and aging in small French oak wine barrels before being handbottled. Dark fruit, lactic sour, oak and funk flavors sweep over the taste buds like an incoming tide. 8.06% ABV, 750 ml bottle = $15.95 |
Cascade The Vine '09This Northwest Sour Style Ale blends soured Triples, Blonde Quads and Golden ales that have been refermented with the fresh pressed juice of white wine grapes. This blend differs from the '08 bottling in that the grapes were sourced from a different grower this year; this blend's grapes featured more of a sweet tart candy flavor. The brewers emphasized that flavor and spiced accordingly. The grapes were also more musky; in order to highlight that flavor, the brewers blended lighter beers into the mix, resulting in a lower alcohol. 8.33% ABV, 750 ml bottle = $15.95 | ||
