Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style X3). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L0202016 (BBF 10.2018). AROMA: medium-low metallic note, followed my medium fruity aroma (red wine-like). slight oxidized hops note. APPEARANCE: reddish ambar color and clear. medium-low moussy, ivory head with medium-low to low retention. TASTE: medium-low to low fruity flavor (similar to the aroma), followed by medium-low oxidized hops (cheesy) and low yeasty and mettalic note. medium-high to high bitterness with a dry, yeasty and bitter finish. PALATE: medium-light body with medium carbonation. slight astringency from excessive bitterness. slight OVERALL: a grape ale with excessive bitterness rendering the beer unbalanced.

330 mml bottle. Tasted on the 04/07/2017 and purchased on December at Catraio (Porto). Red ruby colour with a thin white head. Aroma of red grapes, red berries and yeast. Taste is sweet red grapes with a slightly sugar finsih. Aftertaste is intense fruity and medium sweet. Next one please!
