I've used this hop combo in kits before and really liked it, so fancied brewing a hoppy low ABV AG brew for early summer quaffing!
I know the figures are balanced, but will the real beer be over hoppy (astringent)? I'm thinking that the yeast will help?
Cheers

Re: Cascarillo Pale (Hoppy low ABV ale)
Sounds great. The crystal is the key and with the pale, dark and carapils adding up to 7-8% of the grain bill it should balance out.
I recently brewed something similar with Amarillo, Cascade and Earl Grey Tea, with the following grist. I went lower at 2.3% and more bitter at 37 IBU and at wasn't astringent at all. Although I mashed with full liquor (no sparge) at 69% for an hour, to get maximum body from non fermentables. I didn't drink like 2.3%.
Maris Otter (5.0 EBC) 61.5 %
Vienna Malt (10.0 EBC) 23.1 %
Crystal Dark (150.0 EBC) 7.7 %
Wheat Malt(3.9 EBC) 7.7 %
