    I remember years ago reading that Cascade has a Russian hop in its lineage.

    Indeed - that's something that the article mentions. Interesting.

    The history of Cascade hops:

    “Cascade was found as a chance seedling in 1956 by Dr. Stan Brooks of Oregon State. [4] After being noticed and collected for propagation, it was assigned USDA accession number 56013. The female side of the pedigree is known to be (USDA 19124) a cross between Fuggles and a previous seedling descended from both Russian Serebrianker and Fuggles. While the male side of the pedigree comes from open pollination by an unknown male plant.”
