Soma Hydrant is a vibrant Hazy IPA that delivers an intense sensory experience driven by a deliberate blend of Motueka, Citra, and Rakau hops. The aroma is dominated by a bright citrus punch of lime zest and Meyer lemon, layered over tropical passionfruit and ripe stone fruit notes of apricot and peach. On the palate, the hop-forward profile provides a lush, juicy character with a soft, pillowy texture. At 7% ABV, it offers a gentle, well-integrated warmth that complements the bready malt backbone. The finish is smooth and off-dry, featuring a restrained bitterness that allows the resinous fruit oils to linger without harshness.
