NEIPA - New England IPA 6.5 º

Soma Beer

Soma Wildcard presents a vibrant expression of the Hazy IPA style, defined by an intense, multi-layered hop profile. The strategic use of Galaxy and Mosaic hops unleashes a wave of passion fruit, mango, and blueberry, while Simcoe provides a grounding touch of resinous pine and grapefruit zest. This aromatic complexity sits atop a soft, pillowy grain bill that offers a neutral, bready base without distracting from the lupulin intensity. At 6.5% ABV, it balances a lush, juicy saturation with a restrained bitterness and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel, delivering a quintessential tropical experience that finishes with a clean, fruit-laden linger.

Appearance. Pours a glowing, hazy straw to pale gold (4-6 SRM) with a dense, rocky, white meringue-like head that shows exceptional retention and leaves intricate lacing. The opacity provides a characteristic shine without appearing murky.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring dominant passion fruit, ripe mango, and bright blueberry from the Galaxy and Mosaic hops, complemented by Simcoe's subtle pine and grapefruit notes. A light, bready, and grainy malt presence provides a neutral backdrop, while fermentation esters are supportive and fruity.

Taste. Massive tropical fruit flavors of mango and passion fruit dominate the palate, followed by notes of blueberry, tangerine, and a whisper of resinous pine. The malt contributes a soft, bready foundation. Perceived bitterness is low to moderate and remarkably smooth, integrated into an off-dry finish that leaves a lingering, juice-like tropical fruit impression without any hop harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a remarkably soft, pillowy texture and no astringency. Carbonation is moderate, enhancing the smooth mouthfeel. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, contributing to the overall lush character.
