Soma Simcoe Drip is a focused Double IPA that highlights the intense, multifaceted profile of the Simcoe hop. The sensory experience is lead by a prominent aroma of resinous pine, grapefruit zest, and a hint of passion fruit. On the palate, the Simcoe hops deliver deep woodiness and tropical notes, supported by a clean, neutral malt base that ensures the hop character remains the primary focus. A firm, persistent bitterness defines the structure, leading to a crisp, dry finish. Despite its strength, the alcohol is well-integrated, providing a smooth warmth that enhances the beer's drinkability and highlights its hop-forward balance.
