Has anyone seen or tried the new Four Seasons Cascade beer (Spring Fest) ?
It is supposed to be similar in style to a Bavarian Helles.
I haven't found it at my local bottleshop yet.
Beers,
Doc
Sorry to bump a long dead thread, but I thought I'd pass on my impressions of the Cascade Four Seasons brew...
Went to a relatively new club here in Canberra (the Mawson Club) with the family and had a quick look at their beer range - not too bad, but hell it sure ain't cheap buying a beer nowadays, is it? :angry: $5 for a schooner of Stella - is that cheap or dusty? (Married with kids, so have no idea about bar prices nowadays!

- that's why I brew B) )
Anyway, they had Cascade Pale Ale and Four Seasons on tap - as well as Tooheys, VB, other assorted swill beers, Stella, Beez Neez or something like that

The bloody pagans even had Guinness in tall cans! :blink: Other than the Stella and canned Guiness :blink: there was very little O/S beer available - but the Austrian / Australian club is only 50 metres away

:lol: :chug:
So I asked for a Four Seasons - IMHO, its a pils with perhaps a touch of wheat malt ?! and minimal hop profile to balance the malt and that's all - it looked great in the tall glass, good head retention, nice lacing, well carbonated and bugger all aroma but to be honest, it didn't knock my socks off

I felt that it was a bit watery and the lack of hops made it a reasonable but not memorable pils - it was as if somebody had brewed a nice part mash pils at home and added 1 too many litre of water in the fermenter to bring down the post boil gravity!!
I hope I haven't offended any Coopers fans - sure, it's a beer for hot weather or the barbie but I wouldn't push the JS Pilsner out of the way to get my hands on a sixpack of this baby
Cheers,
