Cascade is one of the most influential aroma hops in modern brewing, celebrated for its unmistakable floral, citrus, and spice-driven character. Developed through the USDA breeding program and released in the early 1970s, it has become a cornerstone of the craft beer movement and remains a favourite among brewers worldwide.
Known for its balanced combination of flavour, aroma, and bitterness, Cascade delivers bright grapefruit notes supported by floral, herbal, and subtle pine nuances. Its distinctive profile provides a refreshing and approachable hop character that has helped define countless American-style ales.
Versatile and highly expressive, Cascade performs exceptionally well in both late-kettle and dry-hop applications, where its vibrant citrus and floral qualities can take centre stage. Its well-rounded bittering properties also contribute structure and balance to a wide range of beer styles.
