Soma Grit is an assertive Double IPA that showcases a high-impact sensory profile driven by the synergy of Strata CGX and Citra hops. The experience begins with an intense aromatic explosion of tropical fruits, led by juicy peach and sharp citrus highlights. On the palate, the beer reveals a remarkably creamy and juicy texture, delivering saturated flavors of ripe mango and sweet pineapple. While the 8% ABV provides a structural foundation, the finish remains remarkably fruity and persistent. This expression balances the punchy resinous depths of Strata CGX with the bright, multifaceted tropicality of Citra, ensuring a modern, hop-forward character with high drinkability.
