Strata T90 Hop Pellets / USA / 2023 / AA: 13.3%

The Strata hop resulted from an open-pollinated Perle in Corvallis, Oregon 2009. While it was born in 2009, it wasn't officially released until 2018. Strata was Indie Hops' first hop variety to be released from their breeding program in cooperation with Oregon State University. US hops begin to be harvested in mid-to-late August for most aroma varieties.

Flavour & Aroma Profile
Strata is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout brewing. The Strata hop has many layers of different fruit flavours, dried and fresh, anchored with a dried chilli-cannabis-funk. Late hot side additions using Strata bring out layers of rounded tropical plus bright-fresh fruit flavours; dry hopping yields more grapefruit and cannabis. Other descriptors include passion fruit, strawberry and dank.

Beer Styles
Some popular beer styles that use the Strata hop include:
IPA / Pale Ale / Stout / Sours / Saison / Pale Ale / Lager.
Strata is sometimes featured as a single hop in beer to highlight its unique flavours and aromas.
