Brewers and Craft Drinkers notes:
"This particular hop offers candied floral and fruity tones, complimenting another favourite stablemate, Melba, grown in the same region." Cooper's "Astra is known for both its sweet citrus and tropical fruit aromas as well as its herbal qualities. And, in this single hop beer, the experience is all about those aromatic hop qualities, with a light malt profile and gentle bitterness. The Astra produces melon and herbal aromas, along with – possibly a result of using them fresh – some light grassy and floral notes. There's some underlying honey too, which becomes more obvious as the beer starts to warm." Will Ziebell https://craftypint.com/beer/4948/stomping-ground-astra-man-fresh-hop-pale-ale
