SOMA Beer Libation

Pungent aromas of crushed passionfruit and diesel-flecked pink grapefruit from Riwaka lead immediately on the nose, quickly joined by candied peach and pineapple notes delivered by Nectaron Cryo. Deep golden in the glass under an off-white foam collar, this Double IPA pairs an alcohol heat native to its twelve percent strength with sharp pine needles and resinous tang courtesy of Waimea hops. Beneath the massive hop onslaught, a lean, pale cereal grain malt bill supports heavy resinous bitterness that cuts through sweet stone fruit esters, culminating in an assertive, dry finish coated in sticky hop oils and elevated ethanol.
