CASCADE
BREWING QUALITY
Dual purpose hop. Has a unique floral/spicy aroma due to abnormal levels of some of the essential oils. Popular with some brewers due to the unique character imparted to the finished beer, others object to it because of its “perfume like” hoppy flavour.
ORIGIN / HISTORY
US origin. It is an aroma variety developed in Oregon. It is the result of the open pollination of a Fuggle-type seedling that was derived from crosses with the Russian hop Serebrianka.
