Recipe and Brewday here.
Three weeks into bottling the Cascade Pale Ale, I opened a bottled and tasted it.
On a warm Sunday afternoon, the cold Cascade Pale Ale poured with a hazy orange shade into the glass and a thick white head formed that quickly settled into a quarter inch thick foam in a few minutes.
On the nose, it had a burst of pine and citrus notes. I think I could have got more aroma if I had continuously hopped it every 15 minutes or so. But beyond pine and citrus, I couldnt detect much else.
On a warm afternoon, this is the beer to come home to. It is a very easy drinking pale ale with bitterness late on the palate and mostly dry with barely any sweetness.
I have a recipe for a continuously hopped Citra Pale Ale too and these two beers might have to fight it out for a place as my house beer.
