cascade

Description

Pioneered in the 1950’s by Jack Horner and his team at Oregon State University. It was released in 1972 and made famous by the work between partner farm Segal Ranches and John Segal Sr and breweries like Anchor and Sierra Nevada. It features excellent vigor and yield and when brewed exudes a distinct spicy citrus aroma with hints of grapefruit. Well suited to just about any ale and lager, its use is particularly popular in American Pale Ales. Its relatively poor storage stability tends to be a non-issue with its popularity and subsequent large production volumes from major US breweries ensuring harvests don’t sit idle for long. Cascade was originally developed through open pollination of English variety Fuggle and the Russian variety Serebrianka and is named after the Cascade Range, mountains that run from northern California all the way north to British Columbia, Canada.

Aromas: Grapefruit, Pine, slight Stone Fruit spiciness.
