Born Brewing Co. Park Pass 009 – American IPA at 6.3% ABV (C$5.85 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 29-Apr-2026, reviewed 2-May-2026)
Appearance: slightly murky hazy medium gold with two fingers of fine pale ivory head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, cereal grains, stone fruit. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, medium duration bitter slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
I’m not entirely convinced this isn’t damaged. The appearance is just slightly murky, and although the aroma is fine, the taste turns surprisingly bitter surprisingly fast, extending into an almost Belg-ish funky finish. And I honestly wouldn’t mind that, except for the fact that it’s unexpected and seems out-of-spec. (14/20)
This will be my 6,393rd unique Untappd check-in.
