Cascade Hop Pellets (US)

Cascade Hops

Cascade was developed in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) breeding program at Oregon State University and released in 1972. Obtained by crossing an English Fuggle with a male plant derived from the Russian variety Serebrianka, Cascade is characterized by its dark green elongated cone. For many years, Cascade was the definitive hop of American craft brewing — and it remains one of the most iconic and widely used varieties in the world. Its moderate alpha and bright floral-citrus character make it equally at home in the kettle or the dry hop.
