🌍 United States · Alcohol-Free Pale Ale · One of 29 Alcohol-Free Pale Ales in hopIQ

Sunsip is Pure Project's non-alcoholic blonde ale, introduced in 2026 alongside Grounded and kept below 0.5% ABV. The grist combines two-row barley, wheat and oats, hopped with Hallertau. It pours straw yellow under a white head. Jasmine, black tea, herbal and floral touches, fresh bread and lemon mark the aroma. On the palate, freshly baked bread and whole wheat meet light jasmine and lemon peel, with a crisp body and a subtle sweetness that lingers.

◐ Taste

On the palate, freshly baked bread and whole wheat grain lead the charge, with light jasmine and lemon peel threading through the mid-palate. The body is crisp and dry-leaning, supported by a moderate 40 IBU bitterness that settles into a subtle sweetness without cloying, maintaining refreshment throughout.
