Pedigree:
Strata®, formally known as X-331, is Indie Hops’ first hop variety to be released out their breeding program. Born in 2009, Strata® is the progeny of an open pollinated Perle located at an Oregon State University experimental field in Corvallis, Oregon. From the get-go, this hop was out to impress. Between its strong disease resistance, vigorous growing habit, and complex layers of aroma, X-331 rose to the top of an impressive group of competitors.
