Born Brewing Co. (Born Colorado Brewing) Park Pass 003 – American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$4.50 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 9-Oct-2024, reviewed 14-Oct-2024)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one fat finger of loose pale ivory head diminishing gradually to a persistent cap, spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: field berries, cereal grains, light dank resin, hint of mint. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, off-dry slightly sharp finish. (3/5)
Dry hopped, but I don’t think single-hopped, with Idaho Gem. The aroma is not exactly typical for the style, with more berries and mint than the normal citrus or tropical notes. I waffled a little on scoring aroma and flavour, but ultimately decided that this different character is really neither bad nor good – just different. That said, it ends just a little sharp so ultimately falls just a little short for me.(15/20)
This will be my 5,973rd unique Untappd check-in.
