Strata Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Strata is a modern American hop variety prized for its bold aroma and layered fruit-forward hop character. It has quickly become popular among brewers creating juicy IPAs and experimental craft beers.

Brewers often describe Strata hops as delivering notes of strawberry, passionfruit, grapefruit, and tropical fruit with subtle dank and herbal undertones. This combination creates a vibrant hop profile that stands out in aroma-heavy beers.

Strata performs exceptionally well in whirlpool additions and dry hopping where its strong aromatic qualities and fruit-forward character can fully develop.

Strata hops are commonly used in modern hop-forward beer styles where bold aroma and layered fruit character define the finished beer.

Ideal for:

• NEIPA
• Hazy IPA
• Double IPA
• Pale Ale
• Experimental Beers

Strata pairs well with hops such as Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe to create complex tropical and fruit-forward hop profiles.

• Add early in the boil for balanced bittering
• Use late boil additions to enhance fruit-forward hop flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to maximize tropical aroma
• Dry hop generously to develop strawberry and tropical aromatics
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve hop oils and freshness

Strata hops are especially popular in hazy IPAs and experimental beers where bold aroma and juicy hop flavor are desired.
