Cascade IPA

Tap to rate

Cascade IPA is a golden, full-bodied ale hopped with American and British varieties. Sweet malt and zesty hops shape the aroma. In the taste, rich roasted malt meets tangy citrus fruit, and a firm bitterness runs through to the finish. The brewery calls it deceptively unassuming, a beer with hidden depth. It is one of the regular draught ales in the Robinsons pubs.

◐ Taste

Entry brings forward rich roasted malt character that fills the palate with satisfying body and depth. Mid-palate develops tangy citrus fruit notes in counterpoint to the roasted backbone, while a firm, clean bitterness builds steadily and carries through the swallow with assured structure.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
