Brewer notes
Cascade, New Zealand is a New Zealand hop variety. Expect grapefruit, citrus, floral, spicy, and grape character from late additions or dry hopping. Flexible enough for both bittering and later flavour/aroma additions; it is commonly associated with IPAs, pale ales, and porters. The catalogue alpha-acid default is 7%; always use the value printed on the current packet or lot for bitterness calculations.
