Born Brewing Co. Basecamp #8 Pacific Ale – American Pale Ale at 4.4% ABV (C$5.75 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 16-Apr-2026, acquired 29-Apr-2026, reviewed 23-May-2026)
Appearance: clear straw with one finger of fine white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: mild, stone fruit, citrus, light funk. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-lively carbonation, slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
“Hops: Galaxy, Vic Secret, Eclipse” Not working for me. The promised bright hops are actually pretty muted, and the finish tends over-attenuated and slightly astringent. I wonder if it might be damaged, actually, because there’s a light funkiness present that seems completely out of character. A rare swing and a miss for this brewer. (13/20)
This will be my 6418th unique Untappd check-in.
