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.

Poured a deep red/garnet color with off-white head. Flavor was pine and citrus hops that were backed up by a nice dose of sweet malts, making a delicious nectar. There were also hints of vanilla and toffee that made this red ale a very enjoyable beer.

Brewed in the USA !!! (KSBF) Pours a amber / copper color with a dissipating white head. The aroma is very hoppy with a hint of spices. The taste is full of hops and grapefruit. The mouthfeel is kind of dry, but very enjoyable. :)

My first impression of this beer was the toffee in the nose. Second was the fresh cascade hop in the nose. Then the beautiful clear ruby red color. The off white head stays and is persistant, with nice lace. IN the aroma is a little hop spice but not peppery, caramel, some toasted malts, and of coarse citrus. THe flavor is the same. Mouthfeel is smooth and a dry finish.
