Xingu Gold Beer

Čovjek bi pomislio da je ovo iz Kine ali nije, ovo je iz Brazila. Druga iz Brazila do sada. Izgledom me oduševilo. Lijepa bijela postojana pjena a moja naračasto žuta i mutna. Ima i lijepi miris, voćni miris sa nekom dozom meda, naravno zbog poštene količine hmelja. U opisu piše da su korišteni Nelson Sauvin, Cascade i Summit hmeljevi. Prekrasno! U okusu isto prevladava voćni okus ali nije nametljiv. Stvarno odličan lager, jedan od boljih koje sam probao u zadnje vrijeme, u samom vrhu moje lager liste. Jedna od onih piva koje su me ugodno iznenadili jer sam mislio da je puno lošije. Što se tiče lagera ovo je ocjena 5/5!

Dandelion and pencil shavings aroma, surprisingly strong and pleasant. Clear golden, thin head. Strong dandelion flavor, subtle honey, grass finish. Light body, easy carbonation. Great intensity, but sessionable. Drinks like a well hopped English golden ale. Excellent!

Half liter bottle from Beer Run. Pours a clear pale golden color with a large creamy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of tart fruits, yeast, pale malts. The taste is pale malt, grain, grassy hops, mild earth and a tart fruit finish. Thin-medium bodied, slight lingering bitterness, overall fairly odd.

Slight floral bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, white grape, lemon zest, cracker, bread, light honey, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Nice balance and solid robustness of citrus/floral hops, pale malt, and light yeast ester flavors; with a very clean flavor profile and no cloying after the finish. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and clean mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with no warming present after the finish as expected of 4.7%. Overall this a nice and pleasant Czech pilsener style. Good balance and solid robustness of citrus/floral hops, pale malt, and light yeast ester flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.
