Cascade hop is a variety of hop that was originally developed in the United States and later introduced to the UK. This hop variety has a similar aroma and flavor profile to its counterpart, with notes of grapefruit, citrus, and floral. However, Cascade hop is known for having a more subtle aroma and lower alpha acid content compared to the version. Its delicate flavor profile makes it a popular choice for adding a subtle hop character to traditional British ales, particularly bitters and pale ales. Cascade hop is also used in American-style beers brewed in the UK, where it provides a unique twist on classic American hop flavors.
