What is C.D.A. you ask? Cascadian Dark Ale is a style that emerged on the NW Coast of North America in the early 21st Century. NW hops are prominent, balanced with malt, roast malts give color and flavor, but body should be reminiscent of an IPA, not heavy like a porter or stout. The style is not only gaining traction w/ brewers in the Pacifice Northwest, but is starting to spread to other regions. In this specific brew you will find aromas of Cascade, Amarillo, and Centennial hops float over a gentle undercurrent of subtle malt complexities.
