A versatile hop, it can be used in any ale and is …
Cascade (New Zealand)
New Zealand Cascade features largely the same pleasant and distinctive ‘Cascade’ characteristics enjoyed by its US twin but are higher in alpha acids.

Original Cascade was developed from English variety Fuggle and the Russian variety, Serebrianka. …
