Hella Strata reimagines the classic Munich Helles by infusing a traditional German malt foundation with the vibrant personality of Strata hops. This bright, gold-colored lager greets the senses with a delicate balance of grainy-sweet malt and the unmistakable tropical flair of its signature hop variety. Expect a clean, well-lagered profile where soft, doughy notes support nuanced layers of passionfruit and ripe strawberry, departing from the usual floral or spicy hop character typically found in the style. With its moderate carbonation and smooth, rounded finish, this beer maintains the refreshing drinkability of a classic German lager while offering a contemporary, hop-forward twist.
Appearance.Pale gold (4 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a persistent, creamy white head that leaves moderate lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Moderate intensity featuring a clean, grainy-sweet malt presence. The traditional herbal character is supplanted by modern hop notes of passionfruit, strawberry, and a hint of dankness from the Strata hops. Clean fermentation profile with no esters or diacetyl.
Taste.Initial impression is moderately malty with a soft, bready sweetness. The flavor profile is rounded by the tropical fruit characteristics of Strata hops, adding notes of citrus and berry. Low bitterness keeps the balance firmly on the malty side. The finish is soft and dry, following a clean, well-lagered palate with a lingering grainy-sweet aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, creamy texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a refreshing lift. No alcohol warmth is present, and the beer is completely free of astringency.
