In this video, I brewed a simple American Pale Ale with Cascade hops. Cascade hops are one of the most popular and quintessential American hop varietals and helped kickstart the American craft brewing industry for a reason – it was one of the first hops that made hoppy beers such as American pale ales and IPAs popular. Typically Cascade will give off pleasant grapefruit, floral and resin notes which are desirable in a number of beers. I wanted to use this in a pale ale to achieve a low-ABV and easy drinking summer beer while still showcasing the hops. This beer style also happens to be very easy to make! The resulting beer was very refreshing and a great drinking experience, especially while it was fresh! Unfortunately due to the large amount of hops involved, there was a noticeable grassy flavor that was present, but it was otherwise a great brew!
