Imperial IPA 8 º

Soma Beer

Evo is a masterful expression of the Double IPA style, showcasing the multifaceted personality of Citra hops. This single-hop powerhouse erupts with high-intensity aromas of freshly squeezed grapefruit, lime zest, and ripe passion fruit, layered over a discreet, cracker-like malt backbone. The palate is dominated by bright tropical flavors and a firm, clean bitterness that steers the experience toward a dry, crisp finish. At 8% ABV, it provides a smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth that enhances the drinkability without veering into sweetness. It is a vibrant, modern take on the style, balancing aggressive hopping with a lean, efficient body.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper (7–10 SRM). Pours with a thick, persistent, off-white head leaving dense lacing. Modern hazy appearance but maintains a glowing luminosity.

Aroma. High-intensity hop aroma dominated by Citra's signature citrus and tropical spectrum, specifically grapefruit, lime, and mango. Background malt is clean and neutral, suggesting pale grains with no caramel. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters.

Taste. Immediate hit of resinous lime and tropical fruit. Malt provides a soft, bready support but remains unobtrusive. Bitterness is high and assertive but lacks harshness or astringency, leading to a very dry, lingering hoppy finish with a clean aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a soft, smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate-high. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth provides a pleasant presence without any solvent-like heat. Very low astringency.
