Cellaring Cascade Sours

I reckon that they'd all be very cellarable but the problem is.....who can wait, knowing they have bottles of Cascade in their cellar. I'm a big failure with this.

 

Cascade says you should have the Cerise Nouveau fresh but I don't know.

 

Anything with fruit will lose fruit character over time, so it's really up to personal preference. Since these aren't brett-sours, you won't add a whole lot of complexity/dryness with age like you would with a lambic; maybe some more acidity but that's the only major thing. I've had some them right after bottling and about a year out and didn't notice a big difference so my personal preference is to drink them as soon as the occasion arrises. I don't think their beers gain anything worth the wait and are often plenty sour from the get go.

 

I keep all of mine in the fridge and consume them with no intention of cellaring them, but then again I like more fruit forward sours.

I'll probably cellar a few Vlads though.

 

I agree with these two posts. I would think Vlad & Bourbonic would cellar well, just don't age Blueberry.

 

Agreed. The blueberry in batch 1 went awfully quickly and the base beer is nothing to write home about.

 

I have a Sang Noir that I've laid down for a year and was wondering the same, maybe I'll try a comparison if I can find another bottle.

Any thoughts on cellaring the Kriek?
