Citrus Noyaux consists of sour blond ale aged in oak wine barrels for up to two years with fresh orange, grapefruit and lemon peels and apricot noyaux (noy-OH). We extract noyaux kernels from the pits of locally sourced apricots by hand and add them to the beer, imparting notes of almond and maraschino cherry that are complemented by the juicy fruit flavors of the citrus peel.
Cascade Brewing has been a pioneer in the sour beer renaissance since 2006 and is the proud innovator of the Northwest Sour Ale. We are, by nature, the definition of artisanal brewing: we’re not bound by stylistic guidelines, just our own imagination and the ingredients we can access.
