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.

A reddish amber pour with a medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is biscuit, toast, grassy hay, citrus and pine. Flavor is excellently balanced: A sweet caramel note gives way to resinous citrus pine, and some toasty malt notes. Palate is medium to full bodied with a stickey smacking finish. Excellent balance, malt sweetness, and sessionability.

( 12oz bottle) Pours orange with nice head and good lacing. Nose of chlorine (I seem to smell this in all Ithaca brews), crisp citrus hops. Taste is rye, bitter hops, but I hate the finish. It needs some malt backbone to support the bitter hops.

Bottle. Pours a reddish-orange color with an off-white head. Aroma is malt and citrus hops, completely. Flavor is citrus up front, with hops, and a caramel/malt sweetness at the back-end. Alcohol pretty detectable, despite only 7% ABV, and the beer was pretty drinkable throughout. Not bad....Not bad at all.

Bottle thanks to thirdeye11. Pours a very nice amber with beige head. Aroma of nice citrus hops and malt. Flavor is tasty, light malt, pine, citrus. Mouth feel is light body, watery, low-medium carbonation. Overall, not bad but had a weak palate.

Nice IPA. Well-showcased cascade in the flavor and the nose. The idea of the red ale doesn’t add much. Tastes like a typical IPA. Much more hops on the tongue than the nose. Slightly sweet malt.
