Cascade Sang Royal - Sour Ale

I recently had the pleasure of trying Cascade Brewing's Sang Royal. Cascade Brewing is not widely distributed but luckily I live in the Northwest so I occasionally get a peak at some of the "Wild" ales they produce. I truly believe that if this brewery was more regionally available they would have a strong following especially from those who seek Sour or American Wild ales.

Cascade Sang Royal is a Northwest Sour Double Red aged in port barrels and weighs in at 8.87% ABV. This beer was blended with big, strong Northwest sour reds, then fermented with 110 pounds of Northwest cherries for six months.

On-Tap @ Bailey’s Taproom and poured into a 12oz. Snifter glass.

Pours a dense burgundy with a frothy, light reddish-tan head that slowly dissolves into a medium ring around the glass. Aroma is tart cherry and cranberry and maybe a big of sour funk/yeast. As in the aroma this beer is has tart cherry and cranberry flavors, a slight bitterness and is most certainly mouth puckeringly sour. Its a light, crisp effervescent beer and is extremely drinkable but the alcohol becomes more present as it warms. Very well done.

It's A Start! ....
