Cascade and Perle - Good Together?

[Snotpoodle]

I want to brew an IPA, citrusy, hoppy and fresh.

Problem is I only have half the required Cascade, but I have plenty of Perle.

Do these two hops play nicely together? If I used the Perle for early addition as bittering, and Cascade as late, aroma and dry hopping, do you think this would still be a tasty, hoppy, citrusy IPA, or would the Perle drive off the lovely Cascade awesomeness?

Thanks!

Reference is Biermunchers Haus IPA.

Sierra Nevada seems to think so!

You should be just fine.

If it helps you relax, I doubt it would RUIN your beer.

Save a bottle. Next time make the beer the way you originally intended.

Compare the two.

Thanks.

Using the hop schedule below, where do you suggest I sub the Perle in?

1 oz Cascade (5.5%) - added first wort, boiled 60 min
1 oz Cascade (5.5%) - added during boil, boiled 10 min
1 oz Cascade (5.5%) - added during boil, boiled 5 min
1 oz Cascade (5.5%) - added during boil, boiled 1 min
2.0 oz Cascade (5.5%) - added dry to secondary fermenter

I only have 3oz of Cascade

I'd put the Perle in @ 15 minutes,& as 1oz of the dry hop.

Sub early additions, especially if you are trying to showcase the flavor/aroma of the cascade.

I wish you lived closer, I could cure your problem
