NEIPA - New England IPA 6 º

Soma Beer

This Hazy IPA presents an intense, juice-forward profile driven by a sophisticated hop blend. Citra provides a foundation of bright grapefruit and tropical mango, while Kohatu introduces distinct layers of fresh pineapple and crushed lime. The addition of NZ Cascade elevates the aromatic complexity with floral lemon zest and subtle pine needle accents. Against a soft, bready malt backdrop, the hop character is vibrant and lush without harshness. The result is a smooth, highly drinkable ale that prioritizes saturated fruit flavors and a pillowy texture over aggressive bitterness, finishing with a clean, tropical resonance.

Appearance. Deep straw to golden-orange (5-6 SRM). Opaque with a characteristic hazy glow but no visible particulates. Topped with a dense, meringue-like white head that demonstrates excellent retention and leaves thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma. Dominant notes of tropical pineapple and mango from Kohatu and Citra are complemented by zesty lime and floral lemon from NZ Cascade. Low bready and grainy malt sweetness provides a supportive base. Clean fermentation with subtle stone fruit esters.

Taste. Explosive hop flavors mirroring the aroma; ripe tropical fruits, juicy citrus, and a hint of resinous pine. Low to moderate bitterness is well-integrated, providing just enough structure to balance the soft, off-dry finish. Malt presence is low but provides a grainy sweetness. No harshness in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a remarkably smooth and soft texture. Moderate carbonation enhances the juicy sensation. Alcohol warmth is very light and well-hidden at 6% ABV. Devoid of astringency or hop burn.
