Soma Pyramid is a bold American IPA that exemplifies the style's assertive hop character and clean fermentation. At 6.9% ABV, it presents an intense aromatic profile dominated by grapefruit zest, resinous pine, and underlying tropical notes. A low, grainy malt backbone provides just enough support to highlight the high bitterness without adding significant sweetness. The palate follows the nose, delivering a crisp, hop-forward experience that transitions into a dry, lingering finish. This beer balances modern hop intensity with a classic, firm structure, resulting in a refreshing yet complex profile that emphasizes bright citrus and spruce qualities.
