Born Brewing Co. (Born Colorado Brewing) Swift Hours – American IPA at 6.1% ABV (C$4.41 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 27-Sep-2022, acquired 6-Oct-2022, reviewed 31-Oct-2022)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fat fingers of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, melon, citrus, pale crackery malt, resiny pine, faint herbal. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry slightly tart finish. (4/5)
I like it. Kviek yeast is a good fit with the NEIPA style, imparting a drying, fairly attenuated finish in addition to the fruity notes on the front end. There’s also a funky herbal farmhouse note in there that tells you this is not exactly your normal day-today, which I appreciate. Another solid performer from Born. (16/20)
This will be my 5,412th unique Untappd check-in.
8/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
