Born Brewing Co. (Born Colorado Brewing) Park Pass 005 – White IPA at 5.9% ABV (C$4.50 at Safeway Liquor D’Arcy Crossing, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 1-Jul-2025, reviewed 1-Jul-2025)
Appearance: hazy deep gold with one fat finger of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and heavy chunky lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus flesh & zest, cloves, white pepper. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry mildly spicy finish. (4/5)
Remember when White (not “Hazy”) IPA’s used to be exotic Belgian-derived oddball beers, far removed from the mainstream? Yeah, so do I – and so does Born. Few beers give you the excuse to use the adjective “phenolic” – much less in a positive sense – but this one does! (16/20)
This will be my 6,143rd unique Untappd check-in.
8/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
