Commercial Description:
The name CascaZilla is a play on both the name of our local Cascadilla Gorge and the monster amounts of Cascade hops in this beer. This red ale gets its distinctive color from a healthy portion of caramel malt, which also lends some body and sweetness to the beer. The predominant flavor and aromoa of this beer, however, is brought to you by the fresh American hops. If you haven't done so yet, treat yourself to Ithaca Beer's new monstrously hoppy Red Ale.

Decent. Strong hoppy flavor without too much balance. All citrus hop flavor. No hint of alcohol. Medium bodied. Bitter taste and finish. Not especially drinkable. By far the best offering in the variety pack. Not the best IPA at all.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is hoppy with pine and citrus hops, grapefruit, and some caramel. Flavor is caramel malts, piney hops, citrus, grapefruit and a hint of vanilla with a bitter finish.

12 ounce bottle shared by Alraomon. Thanks! Pours a brown tinged strawberry red color witha medium head. Very fruity hop aroma with strawberry, grape and plum notes. The taste is straightforward leafy hops. Not as fruity as the aroma but it does have some slight pineapple and grape notes, as well as some mild maltiness. Medium bodied.

2 bouteilles de 12 oz partagées lors d’une dégustation Ratebeer Montréal chez MartinT. Arôme: Odeur d’houblons résineux avec une pointe de citron. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût d’houblons résineux avec une pointe de caramel et d’agrumes. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Arrière goût légèrement houblonné. (Rating #2048)

From the tap poured amber/brown with a small head. Super hoppy flavor with a lasting finish.
