Hype is a hazy double IPA from Soma Beer, crafted as an intensely aromatic single-hop Citra expression. With 8% ABV and a juicy, opaque body, it opens with a vibrant aroma of tropical fruit - mango, passion fruit, and ripe orange - layered with soft pine notes typical of Citra hops.
The flavor begins with a gentle malt sweetness that rounds out the body, but quickly transitions into a balanced bitterness that leaves a dry, clean finish. Its texture is velvety and juice-like, the result of multiple rounds of dry hopping and carefully controlled fermentation.
The color ranges from pale gold to hazy amber, topped with a stable, creamy foam. Despite its higher ABV, the beer remains surprisingly drinkable thanks to its focus on hop aroma rather than alcoholic warmth.
Hype is often highlighted as a showcase of Soma Beer’s ability to refine the modern NEIPA style, emphasizing purity and clarity of hop character. It’s an ideal choice for fans of juicy, hop-forward beers who want intensity without harshness and depth without heaviness.
This release further confirms Soma Beer’s reputation as one of the most creative producers in Europe’s hop-driven craft scene.
