Cascade US BBC Pure Hop T90 Pellets (5kg)
Originally bred from Fuggles and Serebrianker, Cascade was developed in the USA and released in 1972. Known for its intense citrusy profile, this hop features bold pink grapefruit, passion fruit, mango, and currant notes, delivering a balanced complexity. A staple in American Pale Ales and Blonde Ales, Cascade remains a go-to choice for brewers seeking bright, fruity, and refreshing hop character.
Cascade was developed in the U.S.D.A. breeding program in Oregon and released as a U.S. aroma variety in 1972. It is characterized by a dark green elongated cone which contains low amounts of alpha acids. The aroma is of medium strength and very distinct. The variety has good cone production and is agronomically strong with good crown resistance to downy mildew. The definitive hop for American Pale Ales, IPA’s and Black Ales/Black IPA (also known as Cascadian Ale partly due to the use of this variety). Widespread use in British Bitters, ESB’s, Pale Ales and very effective in fruity Blonde ales and Barley Wines too. The BBC Pure Hop Pellet™ is produced using a finer, more uniform grind than standard Type 90 pellets. A sub-zero process – milling and sieving takes place at approx. -35°C (-31 °F) – to prevent hop resins and essential oils from oxidation. The resulting pellets offer a more intense aroma and flavour.
