Today I am going to review another beer from my top 10. A little brew called Cascade Green. This is a really interesting beer. Brewed by the Cascade Brewery Company of Tasmania which is Australia's oldest brewery, founded in 1824.
What makes Cascade Green stand out from other beers is that it is brewed with sustainability in mind. All carbon emissions caused by the production of this beer are offset. Allowing a guilt-free flavor. I just made that up, pretty good. The beer is also made with all local products and recycled materials are used "wherever possible." I suggest people grab some Cascade Greens to drink until the oil spill is cleaned up off the coast of Queensland.
Cascade Green pours with little head, and what head does appear quickly fades away. Don't expect a lacing either. I find myself feeling as though the beer is getting a little flat as I reach about 3 quarters of the way through.
The color of this beer is a pale yellow, almost pale green actually.
The beer is a self described "full bodied lager." The flavor leads with a strong crisp hoppy taste, which then dissipates with little aftertaste. Overall the flavor is what you would expect from a high quality lager. Quite refreshing, the perfect beer for a barbie on a hot summer afternoon.
I might not have raved about this beer if it weren't for the sustainability aspect. It definitely scores brownie points with me for that though. Overall I give this beer a 5 out of 6, probably would score a 4 but gets a bonus for being environmentally responsible.
