🌍 Australia · Hazy IPA · One of 103 Hazy IPAs in hopIQ

Strata is a double dry-hopped hazy IPA built around the single hop variety it is named after. Passionfruit and fresh citrus lead, with a dank resin note underneath that stops the fruit turning sweet. The mouthfeel is plush and the bitterness stays polite, so the beer reads soft rather than sharp despite 6.6 per cent. It pours opaque under a lasting head and finishes with the tropical character still in place.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Strata

Appearance

Strata pours opaque and hazy with a pale golden undertone beneath the cloudiness. A lasting head forms and clings to the glass with steady retention. The dense, persistent foam suggests a well-constructed body and stable carbonation.

Aroma

Passionfruit and fresh citrus dominate the nose, bright and inviting on the first approach. Beneath the fruit lies a dank, resinous undertone from the Strata hop, preventing the aroma from veering into candy-like territory. The overall profile remains clean and varietal, with the double dry-hop dosing evident in its intensity.
