Cascade Fresh Hop Cascadian Dark

Brewed by Cascade Brewing @ Raccoon Lodge
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Portland, Oregon USA

More of a black than an IPA. Dark brown with thick white head. Mild aroma hop very present. More of a roast malty flavour, with a hop finish. I really question whether this could be considered an IPA.
