Brewed at Banana Jam in Kenilworth, this tropical hop bomb is proof that sometimes a little experimentation leads to something rather spectacular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe star of the show is Strata, an American hop variety that's earned a devoted following among West Coast IPA enthusiasts for its bold, expressive character. But the brewers at Afro Caribbean had a different idea: what happens when you take this famously punchy hop and give it the soft, juicy treatment of a Hazy IPA?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, this happens. And we're certainly not complaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBursting with aromas of ripe mango, juicy pineapple and sweet strawberries, Strata delivers a deliciously tropical drinking experience, with Citra hops adding an extra splash of bright, citrusy goodness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA carefully considered malt bill of Pilsner, oat malt, rolled oats and chit wheat gives this beer its wonderfully soft, pillowy body, allowing those vibrant hop flavours to shine without overwhelming bitterness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 7.2% ABV, there's a respectable amount of horsepower under the bonnet, but with just 16 IBUs, the bitterness is remarkably restrained. The result is a rich, smooth and dangerously approachable Hazy IPA that drinks considerably easier than its strength might suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink tropical fruit salad in a glass, only with considerably more hops and a much better personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJuicy, soft, aromatic and bursting with flavour, Strata is a must-try for anyone who enjoys their IPAs on the hazier, fruitier side of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Hazy golden colour with a soft, inviting appearance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAroma:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bursting with ripe mango, sweet strawberries, juicy pineapple and bright citrus.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePalate:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Smooth and pillowy, delivering layers of tropical fruit, mango, pineapple and berry sweetness, complemented by gentle citrus notes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinish:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Juicy, refreshing and fruit-forward, with restrained bitterness and lingering tropical hop character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrewery:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Afro Caribbean Brewing Company\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Cape Town, South Africa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyle:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Hazy IPA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eABV:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 7.2%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBitterness:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 16 IBU\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHops:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Strata, Citra\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMalts:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Pilsner, Oat Malt, Rolled Oats, Chit Wheat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYeast:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fermentis S-04\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrewed \u0026amp; Packaged:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Cape Town, South Africa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e A brilliant match for spicy chicken wings, grilled prawns, fish tacos, juicy burgers or a fragrant Thai curry.
