Cascade Yakima Chief Hops:

Cascade is a historic hop for the American craft beer movement. It is one of the most popular varieties in the craft beer scene.

Originating from the USDA-ARA breeding program, Cascade is an aroma-type cultivar bred in 1956 and released in 1972. It was developed by open pollination of a Fuggle seedling.

Cascade is known for its unique floral, spicy, and citrusy character, with balanced bittering potential.

Used alone or in combination with other hops, Cascade is an ideal variety for secondary dry hopping.
