NEIPA - New England IPA 10 º

Soma Beer

Soma Neon is a luminously intense Triple IPA that showcases a masterful blend of Southern Hemisphere and classic hops. The concentrated punch of Nelson CGX and Motueka CGX delivers vivid notes of crushed white grapes, fresh lime zest, and a subtle diesel character, while Citra and Riwaka amplify the profile with layers of passion fruit and ruby grapefruit. At 10% ABV, the beer remains impressively sleek, balancing a massive hop saturation against a clean, neutral malt base. This Double IPA is defined by its vibrant tropicality and a sophisticated, dry finish that belies its substantial strength, making for a dangerously drinkable, citrus-forward experience.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange; 6-8 SRM. Features a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with dense lacing. Clarity is slightly hazy, typical of modern high-gravity hop-forward ales.

Aroma. High to intense hop aroma characterized by passion fruit, lime, and gooseberry. Distinctive white wine and tropical notes from Nelson CGX and Riwaka dominate. Malt is low and neutral, providing a grainy background. Alcohol is noticeable but clean, without any harsh solvent notes.

Taste. Strong, complex hop flavors of citrus zest, lime, and tropical fruit. Bitterness is high and firm but lacks harshness or astringency. The malt profile is clean and soft, serving as a supportive backdrop for the hops. Finishes medium-dry to dry with a lingering hop resin and citrus aftertaste. Fermentation is clean with very low esters.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, though it remains smooth rather than hot. No hop-derived astringency.
