Cascade Finishing Hops goes well with….

Cascade finishing hops are particularly well-suited for dry hopping in the following beer styles:

1. Lagers: Traditional styles like Light Lagers can benefit from a small addition of Cascade hops, lending a nuanced citrus note that brightens the beer without detracting from its crispness.
2. American Pale Ale: In APAs, a lighter touch of Cascade hops can complement the malt base with a delicate layer of grapefruit and floral aromas, maintaining the style’s balance between hops and malts.
3. Session Ales: The smaller amount of Cascade perfectly suits Session Ales, where a hint of floral and citrus notes can enhance the overall drinkability without introducing too much bitterness.
4. Amber Ales: In Amber Ales, using Cascade as a finishing hop in modest amounts can introduce a refreshing citrus undertone that beautifully contrasts with the caramel and toasted malt flavors typical of the style. This can add a layer of aromatic complexity and a slightly crisp finish to the richer malt body.
5. Wheat Beer: A smaller addition of Cascade hops towards the end of brewing can subtly accentuate the bright and smooth profile of American Wheat Ales. The light citrus and floral notes can complement the wheat’s soft, grainy character without overwhelming the beer’s inherent freshness.
