Cascade Single Hop Pale Ale
Tombstone Brewing Company

Didn't love this one quite as much as the Amarillo version. Don't get me wrong, it's an enjoyable brew and one sure to be loved by the haze hounds. I think I had a hard time getting over my preconceived ideas about Cascade on this one. When I think Cascade, I think grapefruit and pine. These hazy IPAs use pretty characterful yeast strains, and in this case I just felt like the fruity/melon-y esters overwhelmed the Cascade. Which, again, isn't to say unpleasant -- just not what I imagine a showcase of Cascade to be. All the same features of the Amarillo apply otherwise re: look/feel. This is sure to be enjoyed by many, but I was hoping for something a little more classic out of this classic hop.
