In this week’s episode of Matt Likes Beer, Matt takes a sip of sunshine with Pure Project Tropical Mist, a citrus blonde ale inspired by Costa Rica’s misty rainforests. Brewed with Valencia oranges and Pure Project’s signature murky yeast, this beer boasts a bright, effervescent character that perfectly balances malt and citrus.

Matt shares the story of his visit to Pure Project during a 2022 beer vacation in San Diego, detailing how a recommendation from a beloved homebrew store led him to discover this unique brewery. Along the way, he reflects on the bittersweet closure of that store, celebrates Pure Project’s craft, and evaluates Tropical Mist as both a fruit beer and a blonde ale.

This episode includes:

A live BJCP-style evaluation, with Tropical Mist scoring a respectable 39 out of 50.
