One of my favorite summertime drinks is Ithaca's cascazilla. I'm still brewing with kits and I was wondering if anybody could give me an educated guess on whether or not I could use a doctored up True Brew Red Ale kit to make something similiar? Unfortunately I can't find anything that tells exactly what comes in the kit.
The name CascaZilla is a play on both the name of our local Cascadilla Gorge and the monster amounts of Cascade hops in this beer. This red ale gets its distinctive color from a healthy portion of caramel malt, which also lends some body and sweetness to the beer. The predominant flavor and aroma of this beer, however, is brought to you by the fresh American hops. If you haven't done so yet, treat yourself to Ithaca Beer's new monstrously hoppy Red Ale.
Original Gravity 14.5P
Alcohol Content 6.5%
Malt 2-Row Brewers, Caramel 60
Hops Amarillo, Cascade, Chinook, Crystal
