   Cascazilla poured a clear, dark red color with a thumb width, off-white head.  The nose on this beer is really nice.  It is clean with a little malt, but mostly dominated by hops.  The American cascade hops are the most prominent and really give off a nice aroma.  The body is smooth and malty with a touch of sweetness up front.  A blast of hops comes in towards the end, leading to pretty dry, lingering finish.  The beer left some lacing on the glass.  Overall, this is a really solid beer.  The malt and sweetness up front offer balance nicely with the load of hops.  The body is big but the beer is still easy to drink.  I really enjoyed this beer and recommend trying this out.    

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
