Brewed with the lovely perfectionists at SOMA from Girona in Catalonia, this haze bomb of a DIPA pushes our use of Chit malt and Wheat to even more extremes than usual, combined with the trifecta of fresh, bold Nectaron, Motueka and Nelson NZ hops for soupy stone fruit deliciousness.

440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull. Poured a hazy dark yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, light orange citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, fresh, somewhat light, creamy, juicy orange citrus, lime, dank, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a little hop burn. Fresh and fruity. If it wasn’t for the alcohol it would be very sessionable!

Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild to medium haze on this yellowish gold beer, small and short lived bubbly off white head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Somewhat thin bodied pale malts but, delivers a pleasant light creamy sweetness. The trio of hops brings light pine. Soft Nectaron stone fruits. Mild Motueka lime. There is a mild but persistent savoury skunk vibe that runs throughout. Hop spice starts to bite on the finish. Not bad at all.

440ml can. Murky yellow with a white head. Aroma of ripe papaya, peach, lime, grapefruit. Taste is very fruity, tropical, papaya, peach, pineapple, mandarin, lime, grape, some dankness, a little sweet, low bitterness. Full bodied, smooth, soft. Quality DIPA, best of the British SOMA collabs I'd say.

Who said you can’t drink a DIPA in a beer garden when it’s 35°. Not me. And love this one. Some seeet juicy hop but with a dank to bitter finish. Some spice.
