Almost no foam; muddy deep brownish red beer. Sour, lactic, sour cherries, hints of Bretts. Very tart, pure sour cherries but also hints at cherry pie, cakebottom, but the acids nullify any sweetness. Puckering acidity, light body thanks to acidthinning, acidburn. Feels better carbonated than it looks. Sharp, if pleasing. Sour punch, making it harsher than other Cascade beers I've sampled.

Woooo, Cascade! I just love their interpretation of the style, so much sourness and cherries. Amazingly juicy, heavy sour, bunch of wood and a hint of wine.
10/3/19: Yay, Cascade. Fun to compare it to the Cam one. Mad sour, tons of fruit. Cherry, woody, some lacticity. Less classic, more hardcore. A bit vinous. Awesome stuff.
2/11/19: Still so good and delicious. Heavy sour, buckets of cherry, juicy and jammy. Nice amount of oak and that typical Cascade sourness. Always a pleasure.
Tap at zeezicht Breda, early 2019. Listed as oak aged kriek, 7.4 %. Pours dark red, médium small, rather white head. Smell is extremely full, rich cherry. Mild oak' robust, tart, and intense. Taste is full, cherry, intense, tart, perhaps a bit too sour and dry, full cherry Ness. Nice. But not balanced.
