Super Beta

Tap to rate

Super Beta is one of Pure Project's early murky IPAs and is back on the brewery's release calendar. Three New Zealand hops, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Southern Cross, are joined by a large dose of Mosaic Cryo. In the glass this reads as ripe pineapple, mango and orange sorbet, edged by a faint note of mint. Nelson Sauvin adds a white-grape and gooseberry lift, and the body stays soft and smooth, in line with the brewery's other hazy beers.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Super Beta

◎ Appearance

Super Beta presents a pale golden hue with pronounced haziness, characteristic of the New England IPA style. The turbidity is intentional and full-bodied, driven by yeast and protein suspension. A soft, pillowy head forms and recedes gently, leaving delicate traces of lacing along the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe stone fruit—pineapple and mango dominate the top notes, followed by a bright orange-sorbet character. Nelson Sauvin contributes a distinctive white-grape and gooseberry lift, while Mosaic Cryo adds depth. A subtle mint edge frames the profile without becoming herbaceous.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and fruit-forward, with tropical stone fruit flavours carrying through the mid-palate. The body remains smooth and approachable, avoiding any harsh edges. Bitterness is restrained at 45 IBU, allowing hop character to shine as flavour rather than bite; a gentle white-grape finish lingers without drying the mouth.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium in length, with the fruit character fading gracefully into a faint herbal whisper. No lingering astringency or harsh aftertaste; instead, a subtle sweetness remains on the palate.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
