Det är en religiös sak om man vill använda Cascade eller inte.
Klart är dock att det inte blir en "engelsk ale" med Cascade, men en
amerikansk
ale ofta innehåller denna humletyp.

Om man granskar AHA:s (American Homebrewers Association ) definitioner av
engelsk respektive amerikansk pale ale, är de förvillande lika. Det enda som
skiljer
är egentligen valet av humletyp.

Så vad jag kan förstå så borde det gå bra att göra en amerikansk ale med
engelsk ale jäst.

Jag skickar med (AHA:s ) definitioner på de olika sorterna som underlag till
detta.

5. English-Style Pale Ale
a) Classic English Pale Ale
Golden- to copper-colored and displays English-variety hop character.
High hop
bitterness, flavor and aroma should be evident.
This medium-bodied pale ale has low to medium maltiness. Low caramel is
allowable. Fruity-ester flavors and aromas are moderate to strong.
Chill haze is
allowable at cold temperatures. Diacetyl (butterscotch character)
should be at
very low levels or not perceived.

b) India Pale Ale
Characterized by intense hop bitterness with a high alcohol content. A
high
hopping rate and the use of water with high mineral content results in
a crisp,
dry beer. This golden- to deep-copper-colored ale has a full, flowery
hop
aroma and may have a strong hop flavor (in addition to the hop
bitterness).
India pale ales possess medium maltiness and body. Fruity-ester flavors
and
aromas are moderate to very strong. Chill haze is allowable at cold
temperatures.

6. American-Style Ale
a) American Pale Ale
Range from golden to light copper color. The style is characterized by
American-variety hops used to produce high hop bitterness, flavor and
aroma.
American pale ales have medium body and low to medium maltiness. Low
caramel character is allowable. Fruity-ester flavor and aroma should be
moderate
to strong. Diacetyl should be absent or present at very low levels.
Chill haze is
allowable at cold temperatures.
