Murrays Spring Seasonal Released -
For Those Who Pursue Extreme Pleasures
Weve decided to release one of our most radical offerings yet - Murrays Icon 2IPA - as our first spring seasonal beer. One of the hoppiest beers commercially brewed in the southern hemisphere, Murrays Icon 2IPA has been packaged in 330ml bottles and made more accessible to craft beer enthusiasts across the country.
According to Head Brewer, Shawn Sherlock, Icon is a challenge to brew, but a delight to drink. The huge hop content literally overloads the brewery. We cannot physically put more hops into this beer, he says.
The beers extensive hopping (more than 1kg of hops per 100 litres) creates intense citrus, passionfruit and peppery characteristics balanced by sweet biscuity malt and a full-bodied, rich-and-round bitter finish. Murrays Icon 2IPA has 7.5% alcohol by volume.
Thanks to all of you, our seasonal beer program has been a great success. The enthusiasm of our customers to have their beer palates challenged keeps pushing us to try new things - which makes life really interesting for all of us.
Were only making 400 cases of the spring seasonal. And once theyre sold, thats it for bottled Icon this year.
Murrays spring seasonal is available from October online or through select retailers (click here for details). The recommended retail price is $19.99 for a 4-pack of 330ml beer.
Murrays Icon 2IPA matches tremendously well with spicy foods such as Mexican, Thai or Indian. Click here for the tasting profile.
