SOMA - Midnight Club

Midnight Club – SOMA Beer's Quadruple IPA from Catalonia with Motueka, Nelson & Nelson Cryo

Midnight Club by SOMA Beer from Catalonia, Spain, is the most powerful and ambitious beer in the SOMA portfolio: an IPA – Quadruple at 12% ABV that pushes the brewery's New Zealand hop philosophy to its absolute extreme. The trio of Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, and Nelson Cryo unites three of New Zealand's most characterful aroma hop varieties in a single beer that — despite its formidable strength — remains remarkably clear and fruit-forward in character. Motueka contributes its delicate lime and tropical citrus notes, Nelson Sauvin delivers its unmistakable wine-like, floral fingerprint of white grape and gooseberry, and the Nelson Cryo amplifies all of that in concentrated, intensified form. The result is a beer that feels like freshly squeezed fruit flesh — dense, aromatic, and with a long, warm finish that reveals the alcohol as seamlessly integrated rather than intrusive.

What makes Midnight Club so remarkable is that SOMA Beer stays true to their New Zealand hop identity even at 12% ABV: no malty Imperial Stout character, no cloying alcoholic sweetness — just a QIPA that remains full-bodied, hazy-turbid, and intensely fruity, impressing with a weight and depth that this style of beer doesn't always deliver. A beer for quiet nights — sipped slowly, with the respect that what's in the glass deserves.
