Strata

Tried one of these at the weekend, it's a new beer from my local craft brewers, Siren, and is a showcase beer for the Strata hop. It's a pale ale/IPA that has been double dry hopped (DDH) with this variety, I have had it several times before in other beers and TBH it's never really impressed me that much however this incarnation is a banger!

The official flavour profile of Strata is as follows (from the internet)

"Strata hops are known for their complex, multi-layered profile featuring strong passion fruit, strawberry, and grapefruit notes, often with a unique dank cannabis or chili pepper undertone, making them ideal for bold, modern IPAs, Pale Ales, and NEIPAs where they add tropical fruitiness, citrus zest, and earthy depth, while also boasting good disease resistance and high alpha acids for bitterness."

Sounds great, and in this beer I can attest that most of these flavours came through in abundance, a delicious brew, one to look out for.
