Tree HouseBeersTrail Fresh Hop Strata
Trail Fresh Hop Strata is a rendition of our Pilsner dry-hopped with boatloads of fresh-picked Strata that went straight from the field, onto a plane, and to Tree House within twelve hours of harvest. It is exploding with tropical fruit flavors atop a crisp and refreshing lager base.
A variant of Trail.
Leads with tropical. Feels crisp and light.
On the Classic wheel, from Tree House’s own descriptions of this beer.
Fresh hop season is upon us. Trail Fresh Hop Strata is a crisp German Pilsner that receives a massive dry hop of fresh, whole-cone Strata. It bursts with notes of strawberry, pineapple, and passionfruit atop a crushable base and a dry finish. Fresh hop beers might be the most seasonal beers in the truest sense of the word. We literally can only make these right now. There's a very short window between harvest and when we add these 'wet' hops to our beer. This style takes a lot of planning, coordinating, and hard work, but it’s worth it every time. There’s more coming as harvest season kicks off. Our team is actually in Yakima right now, selecting this year’s crop. Rarely does a style make us feel more connected to the season's natural rhythms and the agricultural backbone of our craft.
