Cascade Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Cascade hops are one of the most iconic American hop varieties, known for their bright grapefruit citrus aroma and balanced floral complexity. First developed in Oregon and widely grown in Washington’s Yakima Valley, Cascade helped define the flavor profile of the American craft beer movement.

With moderate alpha acids and a distinctive citrus-forward aroma, Cascade contributes fresh notes of grapefruit, citrus zest, floral spice, and light herbal character. These flavors make it a versatile hop that provides both smooth bitterness and expressive aroma.

Cascade performs especially well in late boil additions, whirlpool hopping, and dry hopping where its signature grapefruit and citrus aromatics can fully develop.

Cascade hops are widely used across American craft beer styles thanks to their balanced bitterness and bright citrus aroma.

Ideal for:

• American Pale Ale
• American IPA
• Amber Ale
• Blonde Ale
• Golden Ale
• California Common
• West Coast IPA
• Single Hop IPA

Cascade is often paired with other American hop varieties such as Centennial, Citra, Amarillo, or Simcoe to create layered citrus-forward hop profiles in hop-forward beers.

• Add early in the boil to contribute smooth bitterness
• Use late boil additions to enhance grapefruit and citrus hop flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to maximize citrus aroma
• Dry hop during fermentation to create bright grapefruit aromatics
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve freshness and hop oils

Cascade pairs well with other American hop varieties such as Centennial, Citra, Amarillo, and Simcoe to create classic citrus-forward hop character in modern IPA and pale ale recipes.
