yes, Cascadian Dark. not 'black IPA', definitely not American Style India Black Ale (wtf?), Cascadian Dark Ale. this is a style that, like it's lighter cousin American IPA, is driven by big, citrus-y, pine-y, resinous hops character. a hops character who's signature is bold, American hops from the Yakima and Willamette valleys in, you guessed it, Cascadia.

this is a style of beer that any true beer lover can really appreciate. it offers, IMO, the best of both worlds, big hops flavor...

i've seen a lot of posts recently with the OP asking if his/her fermentation temps are too low. most of the time, their ambient temps are a bit low, but considering the exothermic properties of fermentation, they're actually fermenting right in the desired range for the yeast they're using. occasionally the OP is actually fermenting a few degrees below the manufacturer's suggested temp range. which, in my experience, is a vague guideline they set for 'optimum' yeast performance. i have some thoughts...
