🌍 United States · Hazy Pale Ale · One of 46 Hazy Pale Ales in hopIQ

Murklands was Pure Project's first murky beer, a hazy pale ale that set the course for the brewery's later IPAs. It is dry-hopped with Citra Cryo and CTZ. Orange sherbet, Meyer lemon and a dank edge rise from the glass, while the palate brings grapefruit zest, tangerine and pine. The body is light with a juicy texture, and the CTZ adds a resinous, lightly bitter finish.
