Cascade is a single variety hopped beer - we only use the ‘Cascade’ variety of hops. We add Cascade hops as soon as we start filling the kettle, four times during the boil, and once in the whirlpool. Cascade hops are the quintessential American Craft Brewery hops. They are used in many if not all of the microbreweries around the USA because they are pleasantly bitter and have a nice, distinct, pine-y aroma. CPA is copper in color. It is not as bitter as our LP IPA.

Excited to see this on tap. It's a shame they don't make some of the seasonals outside of Lake Placid because some of them have been quite good. A heavily cascade hopped pale ale was an easy purchase for me!
A - Pours a slightly cloudy copper gold with a two finger, thick tan head. Good retention and lacing on the head.
S - A mix of earthy and citrus hops and malt. Very invitingly fruity at first and then more bitter towards the end.
T - Much like the nose. Fruity, grapefruit hoppiness up front that rides out to a grassy, bitter finish with biscuity malt. Very pleasant and well balanced, more of an English style pale ale in my opinion. Delicious!
M - Medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation, but not overcarbonated. A bit dry and boozy in the finish.
D - Highly sessionable and highly hoppy pale ale. Not sure of the ABV though, should have glanced at the beer menu, but I already knew what I wanted :)
Overall, pretty good. Lake Placid tends to make better hoppy styles than anything else in my opinion. Where other stuff can fall short, they do a pretty good job with the hoppier styles.
P.S. This beer is definitely no longer retired. I am drinking some fresh right now

Eye Candy: Transparent amber to orange, plume of rising bubbles, airy off-white head. No lacing to speak of. Head easily regenerated.
The Nose Knows: All hops: Cascade type floral and citrus. One sided. Malts were hidden. Slight earthy yeast.
Tongueland: Nice m/f. Some sweet malt detectable, well hidden under the hops. Hops were upfront, but not lingering and bitter. Floral and citrus finish.
Bender Factor: Nice APA overall, close to an IPA in taste, but finished APA.
