Got a single at Cheers to try out the new SHS Strata.
Beautiful frig cold pour into a Burnish Pub Glass.Really attractive “burnish-ed” (sorry) bronze with light haze. Top notch look. Then a creamy rich white head that lingers with a full 1/4 inch residual surface foam and great lacing. One of the best looking beers I’ve ever seen.
Nose is base tropical fruit with some strawberry and grapefruit-citric hints. Taste mirrors but grapefruit and dank really leap out. Strawberry very noticeable. Melon, papaya/passion fruit?? remain present but more of a base vs leap out. Body is smooth with bright refreshing carbonation that enhances rather than burns/distracts. Really seems to carry strengths of a smooth malty brew that has the “just right”brightness.
Overall, I enjoyed the single hop Strata, but was much more impressed with the overall quality of brewing. Burnish reliably does a very good job constructing/producing their beers…but this is real stand out. Highly impressed. And will be going back for much more.
