Cascade

Cascade is the quintessential American aroma hop that helped define the modern craft beer movement. Renowned for its unmistakable grapefruit and floral character with hints of pine and spice, Cascade delivers a balanced and approachable profile that works across a wide range of styles. Its moderate alpha acids and high myrcene content make it ideal for late additions, dry hopping, and classic West Coast hop expression.

Sensory Analysis

Amarillo is a game-changer for our brews. The bright citrus punch especially the orange and grapefruit notes, bring our IPA to life. It's smooth and versatile and delivers the  bold aroma we love.
