Cascade Hops Pellets 1 oz

Cascade Hops Cascade: the hop that started it all. Bred in Oregon, Cascade helped define American craft beer with its iconic grapefruit and floral aroma. It's perfect for late-boil additions or dry hopping when you want a bright, classic American hop profile. Cascade pairs well with other citrus-forward hops like Centennial or Mosaic and shines in single-hop pale ales.

Its bright, floral, and citrusy profile helped establish the identity of American-style ales and continues to be one of the most used aroma hops in the world.
