American IPA 7.4 º

Sofia Electric Brewing

Forest Vibration from Sofia Electric Brewing is a striking West Coast IPA that masterfully integrates the wild essence of young spruce tips gathered from the Rila Mountain. The sensory experience is led by a vibrant, resinous pine character and bright citrus notes, which interplay with the fresh, herbal, and slightly woody nuances of the spruce. A clean, supporting malt backbone ensures the focus remains on the assertive bitterness and forest-like aromatics. At 7.4% ABV, it offers a smooth, integrated warmth that complements the crisp, dry finish. This beer captures a mountain hike in a glass, balancing traditional American IPA characteristics with local botanical intrigue.

Appearance. Brilliant medium gold (7 SRM) with a tall, frothy white head that shows excellent persistence and leaves intricate lacing. The clarity is high, as expected for the style.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent resin, pine, and grapefruit zest. The young spruce tips contribute a distinctively bright, herbal, and forest-like quality. Clean, low-intensity grainy malt supports the aromatics without interference, while fermentation esters are negligible.

Taste. Leading with a firm, assertive bitterness, the flavor profile is dominated by resinous pine and citrus peel. The spruce tips provide a unique, woodsy depth and a touch of herbal complexity. Malt flavor is low and neutral, reminiscent of cracker. The finish is very dry and crisp with a long-lasting, clean bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, clean texture. Carbonation is medium-high, adding a refreshing bite. There is a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth that never becomes harsh or fusel.
