Hops = Strata
It was only a few years ago at a conference we heard a speaker say, and we quote, "Westcoast IPA is dead and it's not coming back;" to which we reply, "jajajajajajajaja!" Westcoast IPA may have been limping like Kaiser Soze, but it's back to full stride like a puma with a mouth full of coca leaves. With Foam Dome we wanted to go all in with Strata, pumping this westy full of one of our favorite hops of all time and packing it to the brim with flavors of sweet tropical fruits, ripe melon, strawberry juice, passionfruit, guava, riesling grapes, ruby red grapefruit, and a hint of the ganj. Much like the rest of its Westcoast IPA brethren here at Fieldwork Foam Dome is fairly restrained on bitterness, enough to balance things out and keep it refreshing, but not so much to diminish its drinkability, and is crisp, dry, and has just the slightest sweetness that clings to your lips and helps all that delicious Strata linger from swig to swig.

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery snifter
A: Pours golden amber with a slight chill haze and a frothy off cream white head that settles to a light layer and leaves a laces nicely.
S: Lively citrus, slightly dank resinous grassy herbal notes, red berries, tropical, and stone fruit, bready malt, and a little caramel sweetness.
T: Citrus, ripe grapefruit and a little tangerine, strawberry jumps out, followed by tropical and stone fruit, passion fruit, peach, apricot, and guava, faintly dank grassy herbal notes, bready malt, and caramel sweetness.
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation.
O: Really nice Westy Strata showcase. Grapefruit and strawberry shine, with plenty of green and fruity depth. Good stuff.
