Style Context

As category context only, the closest entry in the Brewers Association guideline is Imperial Red Ale: deep amber to reddish brown, medium to high caramel malt, high hop aroma and flavor, very high bitterness and a prominent alcohol character, at 8.0 to 10.6 percent ABV and 55 to 85 IBU. The listed ABV is below this contextual range, while the IBU fits it.

Research Notes

  • Field pass 2026-10-13: Additional brewery-domain and taproom searches found no brewery-domain page naming The Fourth Colour; the previously recorded ordering menu remains the only verified brewery menu.
  • Second pass 2026-10-13: Found the brewery ordering menu and matching Untappd listing with ABV, IBU, named hops and a description. The listing also names the 2026 silver award. No dedicated page on the brewery domain was found.
  • The brewery beer page lists only six year-round beers (Hazy, IPA, Pils, Stout, Pale, Helles), none of them this beer.
  • The home page mentions experimental small-batch and seasonal beers on its tap list but names none; the linked Untappd tap list board returned no readable beer data.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the description on file comes from Untappd and is not extended.
