Born Brewing Co. South Peak – American IPA at 5.5% ABV | 20 IBU (C$5.65 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 7-Mar-2026, reviewed 2-Apr-2026)
Appearance: slightly hazy straw with one fat finger of loose white head diminishing rapidly to a thin cap, moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: melon, berries, light pine. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, medium bitter off-dry finish. (4/5)
There’s nothing objectionable here, but there’s also not a whole lot else. The aroma certainly tends bright the way the label promises, but it’s also quite light. On the up side, that translates through into a fairly clean off-dry finish. A bit different than the norm, sure, but a bit too mild for my preference, even acknowledging the relatively benign ABV. (14/20)
This will be my 6,375th unique Untappd check-in.
