If someone were to ask us, “What are the five greatest hops of all time?” the only answer we could give is Nelson, Nelson, Nelson, Nelson, and Nelson because it spit hot fire. As for number six? That would probably have to be Strata. Pairing these two hops together was an absolute no brainer, going pretty heavy with the Nelson and a little lighter on the overly aggressive Strata the result is a simply perfect duet leaving Losing Day dripping in notes of fresh passionfruit, sauvignon blanc grapes, key lime, sweet apricots, juicy pineapple, strawberries, papaya, and that lovely Nelson diesel.

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass
A: Pours hazy golden amber with a egg shell white head that settles to a firm layer and laces quite nicely.
S: Zesty citrus, resinous herbal notes, a mix of exotic, tropical, and stone fruit, a hint of melon, a touch of Southern Hem diesel, biscuity malt, and a little caramel sweetness.
T: Resinous herbal notes quickly countered with a mix of exotic, tropical, citrus, and stone fruit, strawberry, pineapple, gooseberry, lime, passion fruit, grapefruit, white grape, apricot, papaya, and a touch of melon, a little Southern Hem diesel, faint hints of bubble gum, biscuity slightly crackery malt, and a little caramel sweetness.
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, soft on the palate.
O: I think they hit a pretty solid balance here with 2 rather assertive hops. Both get to show off what they bring, but neither totally dominate, though I think the Strata comes through a bit stronger. I'd love to see them apply this same hop combo to a West Coast IPA.

On tap, Berkeley location
Thick, hazy appearance. Nose is bursting with tropical, citrus, berries. Flavor is huge, complex, very hoppy yet restrained by a moderate juiciness . All kinds of stuff going on here. Perhaps, ironically, one of the most interesting things here is the malt character, which is a straight up Pilsner malt recipe as the base, lending a doughy earthiness which absolutely rocks with the phenomenal NE haziness. Vastly complex. Not in a different universe from an IPL, yet it’s different, retaining NE IPA essence and so featuring the Pilsner malt as a subtle, secondary characteristic. A true craft brew.
