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.

12 oz bottle courtesy of fordest. Pours a copper color with a small white head. The aroma is caramel and pine. The taste is hoppy, but not particularly biter, filling in the sides are mangoes, apricots and persimmons. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is long with lingering pine. Overall: A very drinkable subtle IPA, but not the monster that the name suggests.

12oz bottle-pours a rich light tan head that laces and copper color. Aroma is sweet citrus/pine (cascade) hops, medium malt-caramel, brown sugar. Taste is sweet citrus/pine (cascade) hops with a bite. OK/mild carbonation. Thanks decaturstevo for picking this out.

Btl opened by jcwattsrugger. An amber/copper pour with tan head and lace. Brown sugar and light hops on the nose. Semi sweet malt with medium hops and the brown sugar thing again. A tad fizzy but solid.

Draft at Hop Devil. Pours a thin amber body with a transient head. Aroma is sweet malt caramel and some grapefruit which comes through initally in the taste. Some etoh creeps into the finish. Decent beer.

Pours out a dark mahogany color with a thick white head with a ton of stickyness. The smell is of a ton of hops with a lot of light malts right there with it. The hops come through mostly in the taste, but the malts linger in your mouth a little longer. Reminds me of a bizzaro Lagunitas Lucky 13, where I got the malts first, then the hops. Overall, a really good hoppy amber.

Bottle, poured a nice frothy head. good amber color. Medium body thin texture doesn’t overpower the senses. hoppy with a subtle sweetness. No, it isn’t "monstrously hoppy" as the bottle claims, but it’s a great tasting hoppy red ale nonetheless.

This is not nearly hoppy enough for the name and label. If you take that away from it, i may have given it a higher rating. It does have a good deal of sweet malt backing up the generic hop flavor... I wouldnt go out of my way to drink this again with so many other quality options available...
