The quasi-fictitious land of Cascadia is the heart and soul of Americas hop growing region and is comprised of most of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. Cascadias rebellious (and slightly seditious) spirit reflects the fierce independence of the Republic of Texasas I am a product of both these regions it seemed right that this brew commemorate the Texas Rangers glorious thrashing of those damn New York Yankees in 2010! This CDA owes a debt of gratitude to Portlands famous Widmer Brothers Brewing Co. and their W-10 Pitch Black IPA.
Brewed with UK 2 Row Pale Malt as the base grain, 10L-Crystal Malt adds flavor and body while Carafa II & Special Roast Malts contribute significant color and subtle roasty notes to this deceptively light bodied and hoppy ale. Close your eyes and this is a complex IPA, not the black hole of a hop bomb contained in this bottle.
Warrior hops give this brew a strong, bitter foundation while Cascade provides a flowery and citrusy aroma with a note of grapefruit. New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hops are considered by some as extreme and certainly make their presence felt in this brew. The flavor is citrusy and fruity, working very well with the strong orange and tangerine citrus notes in Summits flavor profile. This big hop bill is reinforced by dry hopping with even more Cascade and Summit hops, creating a clean, bitter grapefruit flavor. The interplay between the dark roasty malts and traditional IPA hop bill make this a unique style as the malts tease out distinctive hop flavors that an IPA just cant generate.
Also known as a BIPABlack India Pale Ale (which is just a contradiction in terms), IBAIndia Black Ale, or the official name of this burgeoning styleAmerican Style India Black Ale, many feel that Cascadian Dark Ale is just too regionally specific a name. However, the good people of Cascadia just think CDA is an appropriate homage to the region that provides most of the uniquely American hops varieties to brewers big and small, at home and abroad
