BORN FREE

◎ Appearance

Born Free presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with good lacing. The carbonation is crisp and well-integrated, supporting a lively, inviting visual profile typical of the pale ale category.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with intense citrus and tropical fruit notes from the four Citra hop variants, delivering bright grapefruit zest and juicy stone fruit without any harsh alcoholic heat. A subtle resinous backbone supports the hop character, while light Malz undertones provide structure without dominating the volatile aromatics.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshing, with immediate hop bite and bright citrus flavors that fill the palate with intensity. The mid-palate balances juicy, fruity hop character against a mild, biscuit-like Malz foundation, while moderate bitterness keeps the beer from becoming cloying. Finish is crisp and dry without harshness, leaving a hoppy, citrus-driven aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively quick, with lingering citrus and resinous notes fading into a dry, refreshing aftertaste. No warming alcohol or cloying sweetness remains—instead, a crisp, sessionable quality invites another sip.
