Cascade was the most widely planted hop by growers in the US for many years, before being surpassed by [[List_of_hop_varieties#Citra_brand_HBC_394_cv|Citra]] hops in 2018.
==History==
Cascade is a cultivar of hops developed in the [[United States Department of Agriculture|USDA]] breeding program at [[Oregon State University]] by Dr. Stanley Nelson Brooks and Jack Horner. Developed during the 1960s, it was released as an American aroma variety in 1971. It originated from an open seed collection in 1956, including English Fuggle, Russian

A visual characteristic of the plant is its dark green elongated cones which contain moderate to somewhat high amounts of [[alpha acid]]s compared to many other hop types. The resultant aroma is of medium strength and very distinct. It has a pleasant, flowery and [[spicy]], [[citrus]]-like quality with a slight [[grapefruit]] characteristic. The hop is good for both flavor and aroma uses. It can also be used for bittering effectively, and can be used to make any [[ale]]s, and indeed is characteristic of [[American pale ale]]s, such as the classic [[Sierra Nevada Brewing Company|Sierra Nevada]]. It is also used in some [[lager]]s, for example Sam Adams '76.<ref name="howtobrew">

==New Zealand variety==
A variety of Cascade is also bred in New Zealand. Similarities exist between the US and New Zealand varieties with the NZ version described as citrus moving more toward grapefruit characteristics. [[Agronomic]] and [[terroir]] impact has been described as positive for the New Zealand type.<ref name=nzcascade>{{cite web |title=Cascade |url=http://www.nzhops.co.nz/varieties/pdf/new_zealand_cascade.pdf |publisher=New Zealand Hops |access-date=2014-04-11 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130829040149/http://www.nzhops.co.nz/varieties/pdf/new_zealand_cascade.pdf |archive-date=2013-08-29 }}</ref> As of August 2016 Cascade grown in New Zealand is now referred to as Taiheke.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nzhops.co.nz/variety/taiheke|title=Taiheke {{!}} New Zealand Hops Limited|website=www.nzhops.co.nz|access-date=2020-02-04}}</ref>
