Soma Wildfire is a vibrant Hazy IPA that ignites the senses with a complex Southern Hemisphere hop profile. High-intensity aromas of ripe stone fruit and white wine dominate the nose, driven by the masterful inclusion of Nelson Sauvin and Wai-iti. On the palate, Superdelic contributes layers of red berry and tropical candy, while Pacifica adds a bright citrus marmalade finish. This 6.5% ABV pour features a soft, pillowy mouthfeel and a restrained bitterness that highlights the juice-like character of the hops. It balances grainy, bready malt with an explosion of fruity esters, finishing smooth, clean, and remarkably drinkable.
Appearance.SRM 4-6. Pale straw to light gold with a deep, opaque haze and a luminous shine. Pours with a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head that shows exceptional retention and leaves thick lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity with an explosion of tropical and stone fruits. Prominent notes of crushed gooseberry, passion fruit, and fresh apricot. Background notes of orange zest and red berries are supported by a clean, bready, and lightly grainy malt character. No caramel or toast is present; fermentation esters are fruity and well-integrated.
Taste.Initial impression is a wave of juicy tropical fruit and stone fruit nectar. High hop flavor of peach, white grape, and citrus candy. Malt provides a soft, bready foundation with low sweetness. Perceived bitterness is moderate but soft, avoiding any hop bite or harshness. The finish is off-dry and clean with a lingering aftertaste of tropical fruit and mild resin.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy, and smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate. Displays a gentle alcohol warmth consistent with its strength. No astringency or raw grain harshness is present.
