Sky rocket towards heavenly layered out-of-this-world goodness with our strata forward DIPA: Stratosphere. Much like the earths upper atmosphere, this is beer is layered from bottom to top with a base of of oats and wheat for an heavily hopped with strata and a touch of citra. Stratosphere is dank with layered flavors of smooth cannabis, melon, guava, and citrus with our signature EQ juice finish and will leave you (N)eeding (A)nother (S)trata (A)le ?

Can at home, 18th June 2021. Pours a murky yellow orange. Aroma resin, cannabis, grass, floral, orange, citrus. Taste is skunky, citrus, floral, earthy, bittersweet, it’s complex and well made, drinks really well. Excellent DIPA

Can picked up at Væskebalancen - Valby and drunk while watching England beat Croatia :) - pours a hazy golden orange colour with a white head. Medium sweet fruity with layers of citrus tropical fruit, has that nice strata strawberry chiming in, tinged with a grassy herbal cannabis edge, backed by some sweet soft malts, piney dank hoppy into the close and drinks really easy for the abv. Very nice

Canned 4/1/21, drunk 5/20/21.
Lightly-to-moderately hazy, brass-golden. Medium-sized white head shows good retention.
Wow, what am I smelling? It's like an eruption of canned pineapple mixed with bubble gum. Definitely some papaya, guava and light passion fruit notes in there, as well. Was definitely expecting more of a floral-citrus spiciness, but this is pure tropical fruit salad. To be fair, I'm not very familiar with this hop. But it smells good, if a bit scary regarding how sweet this could be. No booze and the bubblegum blows over quickly and doesn't dominate. No hop twang/acid.
Very....unique in the mouth. Sweet with heavy pineapple and passion fruit leading to some light woodsy/herbal spiciness. Strong woody/spicy character lingers on the end. Guess this is the cannabis character they are referencing, and I won't argue. A little bit sweet and punchy with some weird tanginess that I don't love. Like overly acidic pineapple. But it's super interesting and unique. Not just another cookie-cutter NEDIPA. Not boozy and not even thickly-bodied. Quite drinkable (relative to the style).

Pours a hazy, orange-yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is dank and grassy, with notes of marijuana, citrus, and tropical fruit. Flavor follows, with a fairly sweet body, and lightly bitter finish.
