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.
