We feel like we’ve been lost in a dream world ever since we started getting our hands on these most deliciously dank of hop treats from our homies at Indie Hops out in Oregon. Strata. One has to wonder how so many different overripe fruit aromas and flavors can come out of these amazing little buds. Having just selected our Strata lot for the 2020 harvest (Spoiler Alert: It’s Pretty F&@kin’ Rad), it only felt right to set this lupulin laden wonder free. This right here is a prime example of what we around these parts like to call #stacksauce?

Pint can pours with a murky opaque dull dirty gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers up watermelon, strawberry and then softer mango and booze. The taste delivers rich fruity watermelon blended with fresh strawberry. To midway the soft sweet and boozy mango and guava join at lower levels than the watermelon. This is really nice.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy golden, head fades to skin. Fruity, citrusy aroma, grapefruit. Taste is bright, grapefruit, orange. Really juicy with some latent warmth.

Pours a hazy, light pineapple color, with minimal head. Aroma is dank with some astringency, along with the citrus and tropical fruit notes. Flavor follows. It's a fairly sweet beer, with minimal hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is maybe a bit on the slim side for something so high in ABV (which is mostly well-hidden).

Can. Pours a hazy golden orange with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice guava note with a citrus bite and a sweet grain backbone. Flavor has a good amount of citrus with light notes of guava and passionfruit with a light sweet grain backbone.
