Born Brewing Co. Wilderness – American IPA at 6.7% ABV (C$4.72 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 6-Oct-2025, reviewed 9-Oct-2025)
Appearance: clear pale amber with two fingers of fluffy ivory head, excellent retention and well-defined soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: pithy citrus, resiny pine, caramel. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-full body, moderate carbonation, lingering bitter mildly dank finish. (4/5)
No production date but it must be relatively new. Brewer notes reference Motueka but don’t specify that it’s single-hopped (and I suspect it isn’t). Decent old-school WCIPA with mild dank notes and big bitter, but just very slightly muddled in both aroma and taste. (15/20)
This will be my 6,231st unique Untappd check-in.
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
