Four Winds – Juxtapose Brett IPA: Is an unfiltered IPA fermented with Brettanomyces yeast and silver medal winner at the 2014 World Beer Cup that is brewed at a strength of 6.5% with 50 IBU’s in Delta, BC by my favourite local brewer.
Aroma and Appearance: It pours a hazy and bubbly copper with three fingers of foam and lots of bubbles. The strong aroma was orange, mango, grapefruit and tangerine with a hint of funk.
Flavour: Right of the bat I got some blue cheese like funk, yeast bread, orange and mango, followed by a bitter grapefruit finish that gives you a nice musty funky after taste that is just the right amount.
Overall Impression: Love it, emulates that richness in good quality blue cheese and puts it in a very good IPA, really unique stuff and is bottle conditioned which always adds the best carbonation mouth feel.
Rating: I give it an awesome rating of 9/10, it’s got pretty much everything going right here.
Food Pairing: I have had this before with some Quebec blue cheese and it made a wonderful pairing, bringing out more richness in each.
This was just re-released, my bottle was from the first batch. Hope you get a chance to buy some more or anything from Four Winds as all the beers I have rated from them have been impressive. Check this link out if you want to see more.

Don’t have a clue where you are getting the blue cheese but this is amazing beer!
For me it’s more the same richness than the flavour itself, that funky savory richness that is present int both.
Hmmm. Well I know I love this beer and can’t stomach blue cheese lol.
Too bad on the blue cheese, if you can manage blue stilton try pairing it with Thor’s Hammer it’s incredible.
