Wonderful beverage. The idology of cascades mixed with the monstrosity of Godzilla is a very fair one. The cascades are huge in this beer. They completely dominate the aroma and your nose in general. I absolutely loved the aroma of this beer and spent about as much time smelling it as I did drinking it. The flavor was great as well. I love how they chose a red ale to host all these cascades. It gives a wonderful malty backbone. Highly recommend this one!

Bottle from a variety pack, nose is hoppy with a slight bit of malt. Taste is very hoppy and delicious, aftertaste is slightly malty with a little hop. Definitely lives up to its billing. Very hoppy and very good. Would buy again

Reminds me more of a pale ale, than an IPA. Aroma seemed faint and not very reminiscent of the distinctive cascades, citrusy aroma and flavor. Appearance is spot on for a red ale. Flavor was very smooth which showcased more of the malt than the hop profile. Palate like the flavor was very clean.

12 oz bottle. Poured clear dark copper in color with a touch of amber. There is a medium sized sticky, beige head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, piney, overall a little sweet. Taste of a caramel malt backbone generously hopped. Hops are piney, and finish with a bit of grapefruit. Good body, and quite drinkable. Very nice..

In short: An intense fruity hop-fix
How: Tap at Blue Tusk (Syracuse NY)
The look: Clear copper body with a medium beige head
In long: Strawberries wrapped in smooth caramel working admirably well with the coniferous and resinous hops. The type of hop-fix I came to expect from Willimantic. Medium-high sharp bitterness. Long finish. Carbonation appropriately aggressive. Quite tasty, somewhat intense and rather unconventional. Sometimes you just feel like something different, unusual, intense and aggressive, for some it means a S&M session, for me it means an Ithaca Casazilla.

Hoppy hoppy hoppy.This one surprised me. I thought it would be an ok beer. But it was good. A little malty which is nice but mostly hoppy. Red in color and nice mouth feel. Ill do this one again.

Bottle at DLD08. Clear orange pour with mild tan head. Nose is caramel malts, mild dried fruits, some honey and citrus. Sip starts with a mildly sharp piney bitter followed by citrus hops and caramel malts. Finishes mildly bitter. Not bad, pretty easy drinking.
