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 can from 'Het Biermoment', best before October 2020. Clear, golden with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, gently fruity-floral and moderately grassy aroma of pineapple, lychee and a touch of grass. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity-floral and a bit grassy taste of lychee, pineapple and some grass, followed by a short, slightly bitter, gently grassy finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. A fairly nice example of a rather boring style!

Pretty solid coconut milk stout. Some chocolate, plenty of coconut. Body is quite ok for the ABV, but it could do with some more flavour intensity, and a bit more chocolate. Still not bad at all, for a coconut beer.

Pretty disappointing. Some hoppyness, and juicy smell, but tasted bitter and flat. Some grapefruit and something citrussy, but not nearly enough, almost no juice. Pretty thin. Not undrinkable, just not that good either.

A bit of an identity crisis here, I reckon. It has the malty backbone and some of the grapefruit of a true west coaster, but it's also fairly sweet. Needs more hard malty backbone, more bitterness and less of the soft hoppyness.
