Description
Four Quarters Brewing, founded in March 2014, is a 10 barrel brewery located in Winooski VT specializing in sours, stouts, and hoppy beers.

Four Quarters embodies the cycle of life that each ingredient makes on its way to your glass. A seed is carefully planted and nurtured, growing with the energy of the sun, Earth, wind, and rain. Its fruits are harvested, later the seeds, and the cycle of life starts again. Our logo, the moon phases, encapsulates this cycle, present in every living thing. When we create, we are celebrating the Earth and everything that grows within.

It is our hope, that by thoughtfully crafting each and every beer with this cycle in mind, we can pass to our drinker, not just a glass of delicious brew, but our passion, our love, and our thankfulness, for all things in our natural world. If you’re ever in Vermont, we’d love to have you come visit our taproom.

We also distribute our beer throughout Vermont, Maine, and eastern Massachusetts.

7.3/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 7
Can to becher glass
Appearance: thick orange cardboard colored haziness with a three and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: absolutely awesome blend of the hops (seemed mixed citrusy, piney and a touch of mango toned hops) then the mango sweetness from the mango itself seemed to blend exceptionally nice
Flavor: the initial taste was awful and I had to take a step back thinking how could something smell so awesome then the flavor seem to be so off? Well, I did let this breathe a bit more before totally disregarding this beer and that's when more piney bitterness came across and seemed to cause the mango to become bitter as well; finishes dry and bitter and coming across very piney
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but also a good deal of bitter drying effects gripping the tongue
Overall: this may be one of the oddest "flavored IPA's" I've had to date and I thought the previous one I had was weird.

16 oz can from the respectable Half Time outfit in NY. Label on the can says 8.0% ABV and also a claim to now be a DIPA. I leave that to others. Tulip glass in place, I pour to see an interesting amber-gold followed by a monster head of almost white foam. I take a sniff. Likewise appealing, there are tangerines, mangoes, some grapefruit edge. The taste matches the scent, both are good. Orange peel, grapefruit, a fine maltiness, the same with the hops and a hint of caramel. A tasty beer. This brew strikes me as a blend of WC/NE styles and that is a positive.

Reviewed from notes and finally, the last of my re-reviews.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark orange to amber haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet to bitter lemon to piney to grapefruity and a subtle touch of mint/herbal sweetness; super light clean malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine variety of different sweet features; finishes sweet to bitter lemony to herbal toned and a subtle touch of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; very smooth along the tongue with nothing distracting anywhere; good low-ish carb level and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done NEDIPA by Four Quarters and I'm thankful that my Untappd backlog is finally done! Woop Woop!

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy semi-dark yellow color with a quickly settling head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: spearmint; orange peel, sweet lemon tones; subtle acidic/lacto to sour notes
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sour to tart to sweet quality; finishes minty and acidic
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; sturdy smoothness; low carb
Overall: well, they got the mojito thing down, and though this wasn't awful I don't really see myself entirely wanting to reach for another one of these. Fun to try, though.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange with subtle red hues to the color and a finger's worth of white foamy to super light fizz to them and once the head dissolved there was barely any lace
Aroma: strong blueberry sweet and tart notes with a light lemony sweet undertone coming in and then the lactose sweetness
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to tart quality and flanked a little bit by some sour notes; finishes about the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied; between sessionable and being a sipper; some smoothness to this but also a little bit of tartness nicking the tongue
Overall: I say a pretty nicely done blueberry tart ale I could come back to in that respect.
