Imperial IPA 8 º

Soma Beer

This Double IPA showcases an intense sensory focus on the distinctive Nelson Sauvin hop variety. The profile opens with a sophisticated bouquet of white wine grapes, gooseberry, and passionfruit, underpinned by a clean, neutral grainy malt character. On the palate, the hop intensity remains high, delivering notes of crushed green grapes and tropical fruit alongside a firm, integrated bitterness that avoids harshness. The finish is dry and crisp, typical of the style, allowing the complex New World hop flavors to linger. Moderate alcohol warmth at 8% ABV provides a smooth, warming sensation that complements the hop-forward balance without overshadowing its vibrant fruit character.

Appearance. Deep gold (7 SRM) with a slight haze. Features a moderate-sized, persistent white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by Nelson Sauvin character: white wine grapes, gooseberry, and passionfruit. Clean, neutral, and grainy malt in the background with no caramel; fermentation is clean with a very light fruity ester profile.
