Four Winds – Phaedra Belgian Rye IPA: From what I believe to by their second Zephyrus series release beer, this Delta, BC brewed beer comes in at a strength of 7.2% abv with 65 IBUs. I had a lot of excitement built up for months over this one, finally it came out and I had to try it.
Aroma and Appearance: The pour releases bubbles up the side of the glass which create a good 2 fingers of foam at the top and dark copper coloured craft beer. The aroma is fruity, mostly mango with some banana, peach and hints of spice.
Flavour: Wow this has a lot going for it, dark fruits and a deep toffee and rye malt flavour with molasses, banana and fruity mango in the middle with some tangerine citrus on the finish.
Overall Impression: Delightful and interesting beer that is unique to the market, comes in a nice looking bottle and over delivers on already high expectations.
Rating: I give it an awesome rating, 9/10 just an overall very, very tasty brew.
Food Pairing: This is a tough one, I’d go with some smoke pastrami here.
So worth the wait, be sure to buy it up so they make more!

Reblogged this on Make Beer not War.
This is a mighty tasty beer just like everything else the make.
Oh yeah, I live so close to them you think I would go there more often to sample some of the fun stuff they do (maybe this evening hmm….).
I wish they lived in East Van like so many of the other breweries. They I could sample more myself. Haha. You really should go for a sample!
