Cascade
CAS

United States

Cascade helped pioneer the modern pale ale, walking so that popular IPA hops like Citra could run. Bred from Fuggles and Serebrianker, Cascade was developed in the USA for a breeding program in Oregon and released in 1972. Thanks to its high levels of myrcene, they have an intense citrussy flavor that goes down easy. Making up 10% of all hops grown in the United States, Cascade is still the definitive choice for American Pale Ales and Blonde Ales.

*Alpha acids are determined by conductometric titration (EBC 7.4) in Europe, by spectrophotometry (ASBC Hops-6) in the USA. Oil composition is determined by gas chromatography (ASBC Hops-17, EBC 7.12).

All values represent the medium range of the last 4 years. Be aware that specifically the alpha and oil values can vary in a broad range depending on the relevant crop year.
