UPDATED: AUG 2, 2011 Bottle at the Funky 6. Pours a hazy, deep gold with a moderate, off-white head. Nose holds tart fruits, spices and light yeast. Medium sweet flavor with some grapes, decent funk, berries, acid and white wine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Clean, sour finish, lightly warming with modest, fruity sweetness. Very nice.
Had bottle at ChrisO’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2011. Big sour nose, tangy fruits. Sour, sweet flavor, white grapes. Medium bodied with average, tingly carbonation. Sweet and sour finish, more grapes. Nice. 4.2.

Bottle shared by levifunk...thanks Levi! - Pours hazy apple juice with next to no head. Smell is of red and white grape, more sweet than tart. Notes of concord grape jelly. Taste is light, sweet grape juice and funky yeast. Not overly tart, and with the perfect amount of sweetness. Terribly drinkable and refreshing, and one that I could drink a lot of. Well-carbonated and medium-bodied. My first Cascade sour, and I’d like more.

Clear orange blonde body, light head. Fruity sour aroma; white grapes. Very nice of course. A little sweetness, like a Prosecco. Clean lactic sourness, lots of white grape, light oak in the background.

From a 750 ml into a snifter. Pours a light brown red auburn chestnut... very pretty. Plenty of head, but not overpowering; not much lacing. Aroma is fantastic! Grapes, funk, spice and lemon all swirled together. Mouthfeel is the only chink in the armor or this fantastic beer. Too much carbonation. 15-20 mins makes it better but still isn’t great. Taste is bread, grass, lemon, sourness, wine, wood... it’s really, really great. This is an expensive beer but it’s worth every penny. It stands up to any sour I’ve had and I’d be happy to pick up a bottle any time I can. How far is it from Philly to Portland?

Pours clear yellow with nice white head. Aroma is nice with funk, horseblanket, some cheese with citrus notes of lemon and some white grape. Taste is lemon, sour apple, with a touch of dry grapes, leading into a nice balance between sour and funk. Very delicious, and sour.

2009. Pours orange-tinged apple juice into a snifter. Bright white head quickly recedes to hug rim. Sour apple aromas. Crisp with sour apple and grape upfront turning to a tart lactic finish. Nice.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
750ml bottle. Pours a copper blond color, topped with a thin layer of off white bubbles. Aroma of white grape, sweettarts, lactic acid, peach, apricot, spice, and yeast. Fruit hits the palate first; with apricot, peach and grape in nice unison. Honey, oak, orange, kiwi, and lactic acid are in harmony in the background. Really beautiful balance between sour and sweet, like a wild ale with some mead characteristics. I really enjoyed this.
