SOMA Beer Forward

Forward is a striking Double IPA that showcases an explosive sensory profile driven by a sophisticated blend of Nectaron Cryo, Nectaron, Waimea, and Citra hops. The experience is defined by an intense rush of ripe stone fruit, zesty grapefruit, and lush tropical pineapple, all supported by a lean, neutral malt backbone. Despite its 8% ABV, the beer remains exceptionally drinkable, offering a crisp, dry finish that emphasizes a firm but smooth bitterness. Hints of resinous pine from the Waimea provide a grounding contrast to the bright, tropical fruit character of the Citra and Nectaron, resulting in a complex and highly aromatic modern strong ale.
