Soma’s Window Seat is a vivid Hazy IPA that transports the palate through a complex orchard of New World hop aromatics. The interplay between Nelson Sauvin, Kohatu, and Idaho 7 creates a sophisticated sensory profile defined by crushed white wine grapes and lush tropical fruit. Waves of juicy pineapple and ripe mango dominate the experience, supported by a subtle, bready malt backbone. The mouthfeel is exceptionally soft and creamy, leading into a bright, citrusy finish that balances the initial fruit sweetness. It is a modern, high-intensity journey where the vibrant hop oils shine without the distraction of aggressive bitterness or harshness.

Taste.High fruity hop flavor mirroring the aroma with ripe mango, pineapple, and gooseberry. Low, neutral grainy malt flavor.
