Sofia Brew Rocket Science West Coast IPA
Sofia Brew’s Rocket Science is a quintessential American IPA that orbits around a vibrant, hop-forward core. Assertive dry-hopping launches intense waves of grapefruit citrus and resinous pine needles, perfectly capturing the classic West Coast spirit. Beneath the hoppy stratosphere, a foundation of pale malts provides a subtle caramel-sweet counterpoint that rounds out the bold, 6.5% ABV frame. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it retains a raw, rustic edge while maintaining a clean fermentation profile. The experience concludes with a firm, lingering bitterness that invites another sip, showcasing a masterful balance between punchy hop oils and supportive, toasted malt structure.
Appearance. Ranging from medium gold to a light reddish-amber (approx. 7–11 SRM). This unfiltered ale presents a slight haze with visible natural sediment and a medium-sized, off-white head with good persistence and lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by classic American profiles of zesty citrus, grapefruit, and distinct resinous pine needles. Low to medium-low grainy maltiness supports the hops with a faint hint of caramel; fermentation is clean with negligible esters.
Taste. Initial impression is led by assertive hop bitterness. Prominent flavors of citrus pith and resinous pine follow, backed by a medium-low malt presence featuring light caramel and toasted notes. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering, clean, and firm bitterness that remains hop-forward into the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, without any harshness or hop-derived astringency.
