Four Winds Brewing Co. Blue Dream – American IPA at 6% ABV | 50 IBU (C$6.35 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 2-Feb-2025, acquired 5-Jun-2025, reviewed 7-Jun-2025)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one finger of fine off-white head diminishing rapidly to a thin ring, minimal spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, dank resin. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-low carbonation, medium duration slightly edgy finish. (4/5)
Supposedly reminiscent of the cannabis strain of the same name, not that I’d know. A pleasant mix of tropical fruit, citrus, and earthy dank resin, drinks a lot easier than the 50 IBU might suggest. Very similar to the also-cannabis-named Purple Haze, but not quite as good and slightly sharper through the finish. Possibly because it’s been in the can for too long – not sure I’d’a bought this if I had been able to decipher the date in the store. (15/20)
This will be my 6,119th unique Untappd check-in.
