Description
Four Winds joined the burgeoning BC craft beer scene and opened their doors to a public thirsty for new local offerings on June 1, 2013. Owned, operated and built from the ground up by the Mills family and friends, we are inspired by the Four Winds in gathering flavours from around the world to create our unique West Coast and European styles. We take great pleasure in the application of new world innovations while staying true to old world techniques. Motivated by the limitless potential of beer, as well as the great brewers who came before us, we aim to craft bold beers with character, depth, and balance.

330 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with moderate head. Aromas of et malts and bread. Flavors of corn and grain with bread crust and doughy malts. Thick for a Pilsner. Nice.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a nice large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light tart notes with some floral notes of wildflowers. Taste is a nice mix between some herbal notes, floral grass and some light tart notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Lovely beer with nice level of complexity but retaining great drinkability.

Pours with a perfect foam head of huge proportions, foggy gold body and modest carbonation. Good hoppy aroma of moderate complexity. Good hop flavour to start with notes of pear, apple. Dry finish. A memorable IPA in a crowded market.

Quite Ann-Frankly I wonder how all these new local microbrews are gonna survive against each other... do Vancouverites drink so much beer as to necessitate a dozen brewers within their boundaries? Even in liβl olβ Delta? Well, this pours with a bleach white flour head of decent density and a bright yellow body with modest carbonation. Heavy IPA aroma of hops, no complexity but appetizing enough. Flavour of hoppiness, again not complex, with a dry hop finish. Slightly watery on the mouth, perhaps by design, but missing the oiliness that really drives a good IPA home. Itβs okay for sure, but in a blind tasting of local IPAs I swear I could never pick it out.

In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light grassy hops, curacao, coriander, camomile, light white pepper, very nice. Bottle at Ottawa Xmas gathering 2015.

Hazy light amber, aroma is somewhat lactic, with a dash of apple, maybe a dash of berry. A bit fizzy, a dash of cranberry, and a hit of yeast on the finish. Honestly, not super tart and a touch of fruitiness.

Crystal clear light amber and copper coloured body with a faint tint of orange and a thick, dense, but soapy off-white head, about four centimetres tall. Rich aroma of brett, dry grapes, sour raspberries, light PNW hops and a dose of soap. Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence with a ridiculously dry flavour up front of malt, brett, bitter funk, basement must, mushrooms and a touch of permanent marker flavour that youβd get from licking the end of a marker - interesting. Aftertaste is very drying, ever so slightly soured, but a touch bitter from hops, but mostly bitter from the brett and yeast - very herbal as well. Overall, quite a bit overrated, for sure. About what you could expect from a brett saison, but this doesnβt show any hops, nor does it show much after the brett and yeast notes. Not a bad beer, per se, but purely one-dimensional and not inspiring, really. That said, iβm glad I brought it back across the two countries and tried it, but I kind of wish I just tried this in BC and brought a different beer back across the land. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Crosstown Liqour Store in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on 07-June-2015 for CA$8,99 sampled at home in Washington on 22-November-2015.
