SOMA Beer Nirvana presents a vibrant expression of the Hazy IPA style, showcasing the distinctive Southern Hemisphere synergy of Rakau and Waimea hops. This hazy, pale-gold pour delivers an intense sensory bouquet of stone fruit and ripe apricot driven by the Rakau, seamlessly integrated with the zesty pomelo and underlying pine notes characteristic of Waimea. The aromatic profile is underpinned by a subtle, bready malt presence. On the palate, a soft, pillowy mouthfeel carries lush tropical flavors through a clean, medium-dry finish. Balanced by a restrained, smooth bitterness, this beer captures a 'juicy' essence with remarkable drinkability and aromatic depth.

Appearance. Color is a deep straw to light gold (4-5 SRM) with a significant, opaque haze that provides a luminous 'shine.' The beer is topped by a dense, white, rocky head with excellent retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. Intensity is high, dominated by a punchy hop profile of apricot, peach, and stone fruit from the Rakau, paired with fresh citrus zest and a hint of resinous pine from the Waimea. Background notes of bready, grainy malt and neutral fermentation esters support the hop-forward character.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical and stone fruit flavors, mirroring the aroma. Low to medium hop bitterness is well-integrated and never harsh. Malt provides a soft, lightly bready platform without any caramel or toast. The finish is off-dry and smooth, with a lingering citrus aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, rounded, and pillowy texture. Carbonation is moderate. No astringency or hop burn is present, and there is a very light, well-hidden alcohol warmth.
