Do you hear the ocean whispering “Ipanema… Copacabana… Bossa nova”? Do you feel the whirlpool of malty breeze and fruity bitterness of citrus, apricots, peaches? Light, airy, playful, unexpected and creative as old and famous jazz standard, this beer is a moody drink for improvisers. Well, but our life is a jolly improvisation.
