Imperial IPA 8 º

Soma Beer

This Double IPA presents a bold sensory experience centered on intense New World hop character. Effervescent aromas of ripe tropical mango, zesty pink grapefruit, and resinous pine dominate the nose, supported by a faint, clean, grainy malt backbone. At 8% ABV, it delivers a smooth, integrated warmth that complements its assertive bitterness. The palate is dry and crisp, showcasing layers of citrus peel and stone fruit that transition into a long, resinous finish. Balancing high hop saturation with a medium-light body, it exemplifies the style's focus on drinkability despite its significant strength and complex, multi-layered hop profile.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper with a moderate-sized, persistent white head that leaves intricate lacing. Clarity is good, showing only a very slight, acceptable haze from heavy dry-hopping.

Aroma. Intensity is high, featuring a prominent bouquet of citrus, tropical fruit, and pine resin. A supportive, clean, neutral grainy maltiness sits in the background, alongside a light, smooth alcohol note and minimal fruity esters.

Taste. Strong and complex hop flavors of grapefruit, passionfruit, and resinous spruce. Bitterness is high but clean and devoid of harshness. A low, soft, crackery malt character provides balance before a dry finish and a lingering, hoppy, bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, almost creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high, and a restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present without any hop-derived astringency.
