Cascade Brewing Cocoa Cardamon 2018
Sour Ale 8.7 º
Cocoa Cardamom 2018 presents a masterful juxtaposition of deep spice and bright acidity, characteristic of Cascade’s Northwest sour style. This Straight Sour Beer, built from a blend of blond ales aged up to two years in oak wine barrels and foudres, defies its golden appearance with an aromatic complexity of fragrant cardamom seeds and zesty orange. The inclusion of Dutch cocoa powder provides a delicate chocolate undertone that softens the sharp lactic bite. Vibrant citrus notes from the fresh orange zest interweave with the wood-derived tannins, resulting in a sophisticated, multidimensional profile where spice, fruit, and cocoa harmonize against a tart, barrel-aged backdrop.
Appearance. Deep golden (5-7 SRM). Clarity is clear to slightly hazy. Small, white head with poor retention due to high acidity and cocoa oils.
Aroma. High intensity sharply sour character. Dominant fragrance of cardamom seeds providing floral and herbal notes, paired with bright orange zest. Subtle, earthy Dutch cocoa powder and light bready malt. Clean fermentation with no hop aroma; moderate fruity esters of lemon and apricot.
Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, clean lactic sourness. Distinct flavors of herbal cardamom and citrusy orange zest. The Dutch cocoa powder contributes a dry, dark chocolate flavor without sweetness. Complementary crackery and bready malt character. No hop bitterness or flavor. Finish is dry and acidic with a lingering spice and wood-tannin character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation. Noticeable alcohol warmth reflecting the 8.7% ABV. Crisp acidity with no astringency from the spices or cocoa.
