Hop Adventure Strata

The Hop Adventure Series has been developed to showcase some of the most interesting hops from around the world. With this in mind we designed a beer that would allow the hops to display their full flavour and aroma. The style of beer brewed is a single hop India Pale Ale meaning one hop was used for bittering, aroma and several rounds of dry-hopping.

This edition showcases Talus – A recently released hop of neomexicanus heritage. The beer pours a light golden colour with a slight haze. The Talus hops contribute zesty grapefruit, and tropical fruit aromas, with complex
earthy and herbal tones, including notes of rose petal and sage

ADDITIONAL TASTING NOTES

Colour/Appearance
Light golden colour with a light haze and a white head.

Aroma
On the nose, this beer is heavy on grapefruit and stone
fruits with floral notes and a hint of potpourri

Aftertaste
Intense flavours of citrus and tropical fruits followed
by floral tones and a smooth finish.

BREWER'S NOTE

An IPA/Session-IPA/Pale Ale (and believe it or don’t, lager hop)
with many layers of different fruit flavor, dried and fresh, anchored
with a dried chili-cannabis-funk that does not have any diesel,
machine oil, or catty ‘baggage’. Late hot side additions bring out layers
of rounded-tropical plus bright-fresh fruit flavors; dry hopping yields
more grapefruit and cannabis. Nice with roasted malts too.

Talus Hop

Talus is the result of a hybrid pollination of the Sabro and open pollination.
The aroma of Talus has been described as "intense flavors
of citrus, flowers, and wood... with grapefruit, stone fruit, oak,
coconut, and pine." The pine stands out as a great way to make the best IPA.
