Soma Ephemeral is a masterclass in the Hazy IPA style, presenting a luminous, opaque golden pour with a persistent, rocky white head. The sensory journey begins with an intense aromatic burst of tropical fruit—specifically mango and passion fruit—intertwined with soft stone fruit notes. On the palate, the experience is profoundly juicy, mirroring the aroma with vibrant citrus and peach flavors supported by a delicate, bready malt foundation. The mouthfeel is famously soft and pillowy, with a restrained bitterness that ensures a smooth, off-dry finish, highlighting the depth achieved through heavy dry-hopping and biotransformation.
Appearance.Straw to light gold (4 SRM); opaque haze with a characteristic shine; thick, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and dense lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by mango, guava, and citrus zest. Low, bready-grainy malt in the background; clean fermentation profile with subtle fruity esters that complement the hop character.
Taste.High fruity hop flavors of pineapple and soft peach; low bready malt sweetness. Medium-low bitterness that is smooth and non-harsh. The finish is off-dry and fruit-forward, leaving a lingering tropical impression without any hop bite.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, silky texture. Moderate carbonation; smooth and creamy without being viscous; very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
