Released in 1972, the Cascade was the first commercially accepted American-bred aroma hop with a relatively low bittering value.  It is one of the most popular hops for craft brewing and is great for dry hopping.  The Cascade is a cross between the Fuggle X Russian hop Serebrianka.  The compact medium sized cone has a slight square shape to it and has a moderate amount of yellow lupulin that develops in unique tight balls in the cone.
