Breaking free from convention, this Modern West Coast IPA highlights our passion for making innovative beers. Infused with tantalizing aromas of mandarin orange and white grape, Sunbreak offers a symphony of tropical flavours that culminate in a gracefully bitter finish. Crafted with precision, this gem features a meticulous blend of Pilsner, Vienna, and White Wheat malts, harmoniously balanced by a hop ensemble featuring Citra, Eclipse, and Nelson Sauvin Cryo.

473ml can poured into tulip.
Pours a clear golden yellow with two fingers of eggshell head that leaves sheets of frosty lace as it recedes.
Smells of fresh pine, orange and grapefruit zest, minty herbs, bready caramel malt, pineapple chunks, honeyed melon and more coniferous hoppy dankness.
Tastes of dank piney hops up front, more navel orange and red grapefruit citrus juice, fresh bread, mixed tropical fruit salad, faint mint and intense sappy pine.
Feels round and full. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Long and bitter finish.
Verdict: Highly recommended. Smells like a fresh spring wind over a vast Pacific forest and has a solid shot of hop bitterness to keep IPA lovers happy.

A little while since I’ve had a Four Winds product…if this is any indication, should not ignore their work!
Clear golden pour with two fingers of creamy white head - streaming carbonation from the enucleation on the bottom of the glass. Very nice lacing.
Nose is piney and floral - hints of grapefruit and grapefruit peel - as warmed candied orange and ripe pineapple.
Tastes of some sweet citrus - orange notably; an explosion of piney hops attacks the palate, bright and aggressive bitterness pushes back on a minimalist clean malt backbone.
Medium mouthfeel with a crisp and brightly carbonated body - lingering bitterness.
Outstanding IPA - clean and bitter and exceptionally drinkable.

Poured from a 473ml can. Canned on 06/03/ 2024, nice and fresh. 55 IBU's.
Pours a clearest golden with a very thick lasting whitehead and lots of sticky lacing.
A great nose of spicey hops.
A well done West Coast IPA, heading towards the Pliny style, very well done.
