Born Colorado Brewing Park Pass 002 – American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$4.72 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 18-Jun-2024, acquired 10-Jul-2024, reviewed 16-Jul-2024)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fat fingers of fluffy pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: melon, tropical & stone fruit, cereal grains, citrus. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-high bitter. (8/10) Palate: smooth medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
Dry-hopped with HBC 638, which I think is another new hop for me. Melon plays a significant role here, which I suppose isn’t a dealbreaker for me, but sure isn’t a positive. It feels to me like, even when it’s sweet, it’s got vegetal tones. That being said, it’s well executed, and I suppose some folks might like it a lot more than I did. (15/20)
This will be my 5,874th unique Untappd check-in.
