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.

Thanks to Israel for the brew Growler poured into my SA glass produced a big two finger off white head that went to a thick lace. Beautiful clear amber colored body on this brew with tons of bubbles coming from the bottom of the glass. Aroma of fresh piney slightly floral Cascade hops filled my head. I guess this growler is good and fresh. The flavor is really well balanced between the hops and sweet caramel malts. There was a medium feel in my mouth and great carbonation for my tongue. I really am starting to like these American Amber / Red Ale’s it went down really easy, very sessionable. I would drink this if it was on tap in front of me at a bar and easily recommend it to any one who asked

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.

Definately not an IPA, too balanced for that. Malt and hop aroma, with a thin hea. Nice hop flavor withouth too much of the overpowering stuff. Nice balance overall.

Pours dard read with white head. This is exactly what it says it is. Hoppy and malty at the same time. A very good and unique red ale.

Bottle. Pours amber with an off white head. Very sweet and fresh aroma, with notes of floral hops, citrus fruits, and fresh grass. Medium body. Flavor is also very fresh and hoppy. Notes of lemon, grapefruit, and flowers. I really enjoyed this beer.

A clear ruby red beer with a small off-white head that leaves lace but doesn’t last. Aroma is big fruity, citrusy hoppiness with some caramel malt in the background. The flavor has more of this sweet maltiness, but the hops are certainly still there. A solid IPA, I don’t know what all this "red ale" business is.

Reddish copper, thin tan head. Big floral hop aroma, with just a touch of caramel. Clean, crisp woody hops dominate, with a vague malt profile. Peppery finish. Tasty, easy drinking stuff.
