The beer
Pure Project’s Grounded is a San Diego–branded NA IPA hopped with Citra, Citra Cryo, and Mosaic Abstrax. TTB COLAs under Prost Brewing in Northglenn, Colorado list the plant of record and the line “Produced and canned in Northglenn, CO by Pure Project” — they do not say whether Pure owns, leases, or contracts the site, and they name no NA method. Technique stays Undeclared / Unclassified.
Lemongrass, ruby grapefruit, and navel orange on the nose — Citra-forward and specific. Medium body on the palate: hop lead over light bready malt, citrus carrying through the mid. Finish dries with a light bitter linger.
West Coast IPA shape without the proof. Serve cold from the can.
How to drink it
