A spanking new hop variety has been blazing trails through the neighbourhood, set on a crazy rampage that you'd better stay clear off.

Strata's got a short temper, so if you catch even a whiff of its unique tropical fruit and sticky-icky combo, you're already done for. Steel yourself - it looks like trouble found you.

Hops: Strata.

Pours a hazy, orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and dank, tropical hops, with notes of passion fruit, guava and weed. Taste is a great balance of light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, dank hops, with tropical notes of passion fruit and guava, as well some grassy, spicy weed. Finishes with a light bitterness and some passion fruit and weed lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

First off, this held up really well for a beer that I estimate to be about 6 months old by the best-by date. While the hops seem a little faded and not quite as vibrant as they could be, that typical, tropical, dank Strata character still comes through nicely here, while there's a good body and mouthfeel to this as well. Overall, this makes for an enjoyable single-hop IPA that shows off the Strata hops nicely.
