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.

( 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.

Bottle courtesy of thirdeye11. Clear red orange pour. Big hops on the smell. Also a fair mix of sweet red scents. Smooth upfront with almost a coffee taste? Interesting. Almost no hop taste with the large aroma. Mainly malty and sour taste.

Bottle thanks to thirdeye11. Pours with a hazed brown body and an off-white head. Aroma of pine and citrus hops with a good amount of caramel malt backing. Taste is pine like cascade and nice malty caramel. Light bubbles.
