Description
4 Islands Brewing is a tribute to the great moments shared by long-time and true friends in the paradisiac beaches of southern Brazil. Taking it easy, relaxing and having a good beer is the essence of our friendship and the motto of our lives. Flip flops first, questions later: more than a slogan, a state of mind.

Based in the Netherlands, our company was founded by three Brazilian friends and is currently brewing in California and Germany. This is who we are, a brewery from everywhere.

Cheers!

0.33 l bottle from 'Vormann Brauerei', best before May 2019. Hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, quite fruity and a little resiny aroma of guava, mango and melon with hints of pine. Moderately sweet, slightly bitter, minimally sourish, fairly fruity, slightly herbal and a little resiny taste of guava, mango, melon and hints of grapefruit, followed by a short, medium bitter, a little tart, dry and quite herbal finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Quite refreshing but not that quaffable as it's pretty intense in all regards. I'm not the biggest fan of fruit IPA's but this one is really tasty!

Hazy straw blond colour with bright white head. Aroma and flavour are quite mild with a wheaty taste. Moderately tart. Decent body for a Berliner Weisse. Some kiwi comes through in the aftertaste.
