Logs for this venue
Cascade Happy Holidates (unknown release)
This was the least favorite of the flight, but still excellent, which shows you what today was like. Sour quad, plum and date with strong notes of rum. Finishes dry. There is a tart undercurrent that is somewhat masked by the sweetness of the alcohol. Very interesting and definitely tasty, although more mood-specific than the others.
Draft
Cascade Noyaux (2014)
Really, really delicious! Dry, clean, very tasty fruit flavor, like white berry wine. Mild, juice-like tartness. A slightly bitter, nutty overtone (from the noyaux?) lends a nice sophistication. I think I still liked the Honey Ginger Lime more, but this was also great.
Draft
Cascade Elderberry (2015)
Unspecific berry flavor, very refined and smooth. Drier finish - not as vibrant as the Honey Ginger Lime, but still quite tasty.
Draft
Cascade Honey Ginger Lime (2015)
Complex, and absolutely delicious! Starts floral and sweet, almost like St. Germain - I'm guessing this is the wildflower honey? Opens tart, juicy through the body, with a sweet, wheat, cereal finish. My favorite from today's selections.
Draft
All the goodness of a winter warmer cut to a lighter feel thanks to the sour.
Draft
Cascade Cerise Nouveau (2014)
Beer clearly made by someone that knows jack shit about wine. What sort of idiot has noticeable oak on something that's ostensibly styled like Beaujolais Nouveau?
