Cascade 25th Anniversary
Sour - 9.8% ABV

     Really really tasty, albeit nondescript sour. Just really nicely done.

Cascade A Thousand Beers Between
Sour - 7.2% ABV

​Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's

Cascade Apricot
Sour - 7.1% ABV

Cascade Blackcap Raspberry
Sour - 7.63% ABV
Pete
     Awesome. Smells super super sour, with some generic fruit in the background. Flavor is extremely tart raspberry alternating with a clean sour, and some earthiness seeps into it from the oak aging.

Cascade Blueberry 2020
Sour - 8.3% ABV
Pete
     So good. Incredibly tart with a little bit of funk to it.

Cascade Blueberry Fire
Wild Ale - 6% ABV
Pete
     This is unreal. So many things going on. Blueberry, then peppery spicy, then gingery spicy in the finish.

Cascade Bourbonic Plague
Sour Porter - 12% ABV
Pete
     So much going on with this one. Smells like vanilla and booze (AKA bourbon). Sour on the lips, with some vanilla flavor going down. Then well after you put it down, the dark toastiness of the porter hits you. Just a great experience.

Cascade Chêne Des Fous 2018
Sour - 8.4% ABV
Pete
     Collaboration with Burial. This is an amazing beer. Oaky, tart, apricot. Awesome.

Cascade Cherry Bourbonic Plague
Sour Porter - 12% ABV
Pete
     Even more going on than the original above. Exactly what I expected. The same as the original with a little hint of cherry in the finish. Given that I like to drink my whiskey with a splash of cherry juice, I can't really argue with their choices.

Cascade Cherry Lime Casc-ade
Sour - 5.9% ABV
Pete
     Pretty tart with a good amount of funk. A lot of vanilla in the finish, which is weird.

Cascade Citrus Sage
Sour - 5.3% ABV
Pete
     Definitely interesting. It's a little funky, and the sage is quite strong. I don't think I've had sage in a beer before, and I like it.

Cascade Cocoa Cardamom
Sour - 9.8% ABV
Pete
     Nice tart beer. A little hint of cocoa and spice.

     Solid sour, albeit unremarkable.

Cascade Curious Carousel
Sour - 7.3% ABV
Pete
     This is incredible. Fruity and tart. Maybe a tad medicinal but only if you really think about it.

Cascade Cuveé du Jongleur 2017
Sour - 9.4% ABV
Pete
     Pretty sour and a good amount of earthiness from the oak. Quite delicious.

Cascade Double Dutch
Imperial Sour Porter - 9.2% ABV
Pete
     Funky and finishes a little chocolatey. It's kind of a weird combination, but tasty.

Imperial Sour - 8.5% ABV
Pete
     This definitely tastes like a gin cocktail. Damn good.

Cascade Figaro 2013
Sour - 10.7% ABV
Pete
     This is just incredible. Smells super funky. Tastes pretty tart with some rich fruity undertones.

Cascade Framblanc 2017
Sour - 8.4% ABV
Pete
     It's hard to make beer much better than this. A great dry sour. Super tart with subtle fruitiness and enough carbonation to prevent the sourness from lingering too long. Expensive but worth it.

Cascade Gose Roselle
Gose - 5% ABV
Pete
     Sour funky and salty. Really good.

Cascade Honey Ginger Lime
Sour - 6% ABV
Pete
     Very refreshing beer that's super easy to drink. Pretty much what you would hope for with a name like 'honey ginger lime'.

Cascade Indigo Twilight
Sour - 5.3% ABV
Pete
     Smells super oaky. Tastes it too at first but it mellows. Super tart all the way through. Once the oak mellows the fruitiness comes through too.

Cascade Kentucky Peach
Sour - 8.3% ABV
Pete
     Incredible beer. I wouldn't think sour and quad would go well together, but it really really does. Tastes sour and fruity with a tiny hint of booziness, presumably from the bourbon barrel aging.

Cascade Kriek 2020
Sour - 7.9% ABV
Pete
     This is incredible. Very tart and very cherry.

Cascade Mayan Bourbonic 2017
Sour Imperial Porter - 11.3% ABV

     Sour, funky, and chocolatey. I have no idea how that combination works, but it does.

Cascade Northwest Flanders
Flanders Red Ale - 7.1% ABV
Pete
     This is quite tart, and not nearly as malty as you'd expect given the color/style, which I appreciate. Just enough malt to notice.

Cascade Patio Paradise
Sour - 5.5% ABV
Pete
     Nice and light with a little tartness, and a little bit of salt really rounds this out into an excellent refreshing beer.

Cascade Pear 2021
Sour - 6.5% ABV
Pete
     Really tart. It's also super funky and has champagne-y bubbles. Incredible.

Cascade Primordial Noir 2017
Sour - 10.5% ABV
Pete
     I don't know how, but somehow sour beer, wine barrels, and bourbon barrels came together to create something truly unique and delicious here. You manage to get all 3 of those flavors, without anything clashing. Really well done.

Cascade Rose City Sour 2017
Sour - 8% ABV
Pete
     Tastes more like a cocktail than a beer. A little bit tart, but extremely balanced. A little sweetness is in there too, super refreshing. It's hard to describe why this is so good, so just try it.

Cascade Sang Rosé
Sour - 8.7% ABV
Pete
     This is incredible. Tart, fruity, and funky. Plus, the can is cool for a rosé-inspired beer.

     This is just so good. Complex dark fruit and also tart. Amazing.

Cascade Sang Royal
Sour - 9.4% ABV

     Funky, malty sour that's got a bit of a syrupy quality to it. Really darn good.

     Unbelievably good beer. Tart at first, then fruity, then a little wine-like in the finish. Perfection.

     Quite sour, some funk, definitely boozy, and a little bourbon flavor too. A lot going on.
