Soma Cheat Code is an assertive Double IPA that showcases a vibrant Southern Hemisphere hop trio. The aroma is saturated with intense tropical notes of pineapple and passion fruit from Nectaron, complemented by the distinctive lime zest of Motueka and the plush stone fruit character of Rakau. On the palate, the hop intensity is supported by a lean, neutral malt base, allowing flavors of apricot and crushed gooseberry to shine through. A firm but smooth bitterness leads to a dry, clean finish, while the elevated alcohol is expertly integrated, providing a gentle warmth that enhances the beer's bold fruit profile.
