Thousands of Money

Tap to rate

Thousands of Money was among the first murky IPAs Pure Project brewed and the first recipe written by the brewery's current director of brewing operations. It is hopped only with Mosaic, as regular pellets and as Mosaic Cryo. Papaya and mango lead the aroma, and the palate turns to passion fruit, guava and a resinous pine note. The body is medium and soft, and the single-variety hopping keeps the tropical fruit in clear focus.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Thousands of Money

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with pronounced haze from suspended yeast and protein. The head is tight and persistent, leaving fine lacing on the glass as it recedes. Bright carbonation visible throughout, characteristic of the New England IPA style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe tropical stone fruits—papaya and mango dominate the entry. Beneath the fruit lies a subtle resinous pine note that grounds the bouquet without overwhelming it. The Mosaic hop variety, used in both pellet and Cryo form, creates a cohesive and expressive aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate follows the aromatic lead but shifts emphasis toward passion fruit and guava, adding bright acidity and complexity. A soft, medium body carries these stone and tropical fruit notes without heaviness, while measured bitterness—45 IBU—surfaces as a gentle backbone rather than a dominant force. The single-hop approach allows each note to remain distinct and focused.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium in length, with tropical fruit fading gradually into a faint resinous dryness. No harsh alcohol burn despite the 7.1% ABV, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.

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.
