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.

Amber-copper in colour, thin off-white coloured head, good lacing. The aroma is floral, very sweet, juicy, light lightgrapefruit, caramel. The flavour is of light grapefruit, moderate sweetness, sticky, some caramel. Sweet hoppy mouthfeel, meidum/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes lingering, some pine and grapefruit.

A small body hurts this, not overly hoppy. Wasn’t the hop bomb I was expecting.

355ml bottle from the Premier Gourmet in Buffalo, New York.
Opened on March 21 2008.
Best before October 2007.

Very nice red amber beer with a white head. Smell is very sweet and caramel malt is pronounced. Sourish at first with the floral caramel malt finish. Very tasty!

On tap at the Fuel and Fuddle in Oakland, Pittsburgh. Pour is brown like darker iced tea or lighter root beer. Floral hop aroma. Do you know what chewing on green grapefuit peels tastes like? Well if you don’t give this stuff a try. Oppressive and overpowering in the hops category, a little too much for my girlie taste buds. IMHO most IPAs are one sided, and so is this so I guess it’s a good example of it’s style. Medium hop bitterness keeps going and going on the finish. Overall, just like many IPAs I’ve had the pleasure of tasting, rather objectionable.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a red-amber color with a medium sized khaki head. The aroma was grapefruit and not much else. The flavor was dry nutty malts and grapefruity hops. Very one dimensional.

Looks like a ginger ale at the pour. Clear amber body with a quickly falling head that won’t stay together. Fizzy with big bubbles. Flowery hops with some malt coming through in the aroma. Starts sweet and ends with a long bitter finish. Light to medium in body, a bit gassy.

Bottle from Joshua and Buck in Ithaca, NY--Poure da semi-cloudy amber body with a big off-white head. Lots of chewy caramel in the nose as well as gummy sticky hops. Still didn’t get as hoppy as I was hoping considering the name. Not too bad, though.

Bottle: Copper colored pour with an off white head. Aroma, caramel and earthy hops, some citrus. Flavor, malty up front, a dry earthy bitterness, some grassy notes, and a hint of pine. Not bad.
