Cascade DE (German-grown Cascade) is a hop variety that originated in the U.S. but is cultivated in Germany, bringing a slightly different character compared to its American counterpart. Here's a detailed profile of the Cascade DE hop:

Aroma and Flavor Profile

  • Citrus: Bright notes of grapefruit, lemon, and orange.
  • Floral: Subtle floral undertones, providing a delicate and pleasant aroma.
  • Herbal/Spicy: A slightly earthy and herbal spice, adding complexity to the citrus-forward profile.
  • Fruit: Some brewers also detect hints of lychee or soft fruit.

Alpha Acid Range

  • Typically between 5% to 7%. This moderate alpha acid content makes it suitable for both aroma and mild bitterness contributions.

Usage

  • Aroma and Flavor Hop: Primarily used in late additions or dry hopping to enhance the beer’s aroma and impart its distinct citrus and floral characteristics.
  • Versatility: Great for a wide range of beer styles, including Pale Ales, IPAs, American Wheat, and even Lagers.

Comparisons to American Cascade

  • German Terroir Influence: While it shares the citrus and floral notes of American Cascade, the German-grown version tends to have a softer, more balanced flavor profile, with more pronounced herbal and floral elements.
  • Subtle Complexity: Cascade DE is often described as slightly less intense but more complex in its combination of flavors.

Beer Styles

  • Pale Ales
  • IPAs
  • Wheat Beers
  • Pilsners
  • Lagers
  • Session Beers

Cascade DE is an excellent choice for brewers looking to incorporate the familiar flavors of Cascade hops with a nuanced, continental twist.
