Featherweight
The session-strength IPA of the range, brewed year-round at 4.5%. The 60 IBU are high for that alcohol level, so hop bitterness rather than malt carries the light body. Four Winds lists tropical fruit and resin with a dry, clean finish. In the IPA line-up it sits between the 2.9% Ultralite and the full-strength beers, and is sold in 355 ml six-packs.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Featherweight
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
