Suggestions please

Got myself a few hops I never tried before and need some inspiration. Got some Wai-Iti and some Taiheke which could go well in a Kiwi inspired brew. The Strata and Superdelic I have no idea what to use for. I also have a s**t tonne of other hops I can use to combine them with. 
 

any suggestions are welcome. I’ll be brewing AG but even kit recipes may help come up with something.

I wouldn't mind having a crack at a nice crisp fruity Pilsner using those Wai-iti hops.  For the others (Taiheke & Superdelic) paired with either/or Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe, Chinook to produce something along the lines of a nice hoppy summertime IPA.  Don't know about Strata hops.

With an assortment like that I'd think you'd be going for some sort of big fruity hazy something. Apparently the Strata has strawberry characteristics, so that could be fun to try out.

I used 100g of Wai-iti hops in a Strong Berliner Weisse a while ago and it went well.  Use enough in the full length boil for 14 IBU and the rest in a dry hop.

The ROTM "Cali Coast IPA" used Strata in connection with Chinook, it was a very nice beer. When I was in Brazil two years ago Strata was the latest craze in their IPA's and NEIPA's. I also used Wai-Iti in an Copa k&k and from memory was quiet nice.

Thanks, guys

I'm going to use the Strata in a red ale kinda beer. Single hop, a goodly amount of Red X, some Pale malt, a little wheat, a little rye and a bit of Caramunich II for extra colour. Should make for a malty, fruity, moderately hoppy brew. Not sure about the yeast. I'll probably opt for trusty old US-05 or maybe Nottingham. I'll use a medium body mash profile, so I can keep some sweetness without going bonkers. That should make a decent beer.

I like the idea of the Wai-Iti in a fruity pilsner style beer. I need to figure out how to do that. The hops only have 1.5%AA, so I probably need to employ a bittering hop too. Possibly some SAAZ to suite the style. 

I might try the others as is in a single hop ale to get a better feel of the hop.

The Pilsner I was thinking of would be bittered with Motueka which was formally known as Saaz-B or B-Saaz then the 100 g of Wai-iti used as a dry hop.  The Wai-iti has a low Alpha-Beta ratio which means it tends to "hop fade" quicker so you would need to drink early to get the fruity aromas I would think.  The Motueka has an average 1:1 to 2:1 Alpha-Beta ration so would hang around much longer and may bully the Wai-iti out of the way later on.
