A lightly hazed golden ale with a very thin white head. In aroma, nice crisp biscuit malt with resinous piney hops, grapefruit pulp, pleasant and smooth. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light fruity esters, pleasant. On tap at Musa da Bica.

0,33 butelje fra lokal supermercado, på balconasen i Funchal før vi skal ut å spise middag: nesten helt klar gylden med ok skum. Vennlige anslag av søt citrus, pensjonsfrukt og snille furunåler. Engelsk appelsinmarmelade i avslutningen.

Keg at the taproom in Lisbon. Quite sickly sweet on the nose. Light carbonation. Grassy hop finish. Decent.

Tap a t Musa das Virtudes. Cloudy orange golden color with medium white head. Aroma of tropical fruits as mango, passion fruits, oranges, zest. Taste starts bready malty, quickly overlapped with appropriate fruity hoppy bitterness with tropical fruits, oranges, zest. Refreshing beer.

Tap at the Maravila location. Extremely unremarkable, although undeniably in fresh conditon and thus not terrible by any means.

Bottle. Piney hop aroma, nicely bitter with citrus, some orange. Softly some pale malt. The bitterness is nice. Medium body. Good one.

Bottle, 0.5l. Cloudy golden pour, thin soapy off-white head, short lasting, minimal lacing on the glass. Nose is caramel malt, candy, ripe fruits, mild floral notes. Light to medium body, soft carbonation, slightly fizzy. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft, silky, easily drinkable. Nicely balanced bittersweet taste. Aroma of caramel malt, ripe fruits, citrus peel. Candy, mild herbal and grassy notes, hints of pine and sone earthy touches in the background. Medium lasting finish, bitter, slightly dry. Enjoyable.
