Tap to rate
🌍 United States · New England IPA · One of 107 New England IPAs in hopIQ

Diamond Dust is the original beer behind Pure Project's 'dust' series of murky IPAs and has been brewed year-round since 2023. Michigan-grown Cashmere and Pacific Northwest Mosaic hops define it. It pours a murky pale colour with a white head. Peach, mango, pineapple, coconut, tangerine and a faint white-flower note rise from the glass, and the palate adds grapefruit zest and blueberry. The body is soft, juicy and medium.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Diamond Dust

◎ Appearance

Diamond Dust presents a murky pale golden color, true to the 'dust' series aesthetic. A white head forms on the pour with moderate retention and fine lacing. The haze derives from suspended yeast and protein rather than chill haze, giving the beer its characteristic soft, approachable visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by stone fruit and tropical notes from the Cashmere and Mosaic hop combination. Prominent peach, mango, and pineapple aromatics blend with coconut and tangerine, while a delicate white-flower character adds texture without dominating. The overall profile is fruit-forward and clean, with no sharp or harsh edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and juicy, developing grapefruit zest and blueberry notes that complement the aromatic foundation. Bitterness is restrained at 45 IBU, allowing the hop character to express as flavor rather than sharp bite. The medium body carries the beer smoothly from entry through mid-palate without heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively short, fading to a subtle citrus dryness. No astringency or oxidative notes linger; the beer closes with the same approachability it presents on entry.
