Cascade Brewing Casksde Cranberry Northwest Style Sour Ale
Fruit Lambic 6.9 º
This Wild Specialty Beer exemplifies the Cascade Northwest Style sour, leading with an intense lactic acidity balanced by the tannic, tart snap of cranberries. Aged in Oak barrels, this 2015 project reveals a complex tapestry of vanillin and toasted wood that softens the sharp fruit profile. Subtle, warming spices weave through the background, complementing the bright red berry notes. The fermentation character is clean but assertively sour, showcasing the interplay between the fruit's natural acidity and the dry, barrel-aged base. It finishes exceptionally crisp and refreshing, with a lingering cranberry skin astringency and a whisper of festive spice.
Appearance. Deep pink to ruby red with brilliant clarity. A thin, pale pink head forms but dissipates quickly, leaving minimal lacing, which is typical for high-acidity wild ales.
Aroma. High intensity aromatics of fresh, tart cranberries and lemon zest. Moderate lactic sourness is front and center, supported by secondary notes of toasted oak, vanilla, and a faint, warming spice blend featuring hints of cinnamon or clove. Very low malt presence and no hop aroma.
Taste. Immediate, sharp lactic acidity and tart cranberry juice flavors. The mid-palate introduces subtle oak tannins and a dry, woody depth. Spices provide a delicate complexity without being overt. Bitterness is very low, as the high acidity provides the primary structural balance. The finish is bone-dry and acidic, with a long, fruit-forward aftertaste of cranberry skins.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that prickles the tongue. Noticeable astringency from the fruit skins and oak aging. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated into the acidic profile.
