Soma Beer

Soma Flashback is a luminous Hazy IPA that showcases the vibrant synergy between Citra and Galaxy hops. It pours with a soft, straw-colored haze and a dense, meringue-like white head. The sensory profile is dominated by an intense bouquet of tropical and citrus fruit, specifically highlighting ripe passion fruit and peach from the Galaxy additions alongside the zesty grapefruit and lime notes characteristic of Citra. A pillowy, medium-full body provides a smooth canvas for these hop flavors, supported by a subtle, bready malt backbone. The finish is clean and off-dry, with a restrained bitterness that prioritizes a juicy, fruit-forward impression over sharp hop bite.

Appearance. Color is straw to light gold (4–6 SRM). The beer is opaque with a significant haze that imparts a luminous quality. Features a rocky, white head with excellent retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. Intensity is high, featuring a complex blend of passion fruit, peach, and citrus zest. The hop character is purely fruity without being grassy or herbal. A light, bready malt character sits in the background, complemented by subtle fruity esters from the fermentation process.

Taste. Initial impression is an explosion of tropical fruit and citrus oils. High hop flavors of grapefruit, mango, and stone fruit persist throughout. Malt flavor is low and bready, providing just enough structure. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as soft and well-integrated. The finish is smooth and off-dry, leaving a lingering tropical hop aftertaste without any harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. There is no perceived astringency or harshness, and the 6.5% ABV provides a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
