From tap at O Purista, Lisboa. Vienna Lager with a bready caramel malt aroma. Toffee. Mild sweet flavour, hint of sourness? Medium body. Decent one to start the day with.

Bottle at Cafe Ninho, hilly Lisboa near the castle, 25/03/22. Golden amber with a decent just off white head. Nose is stewed fruits, biscuit, hint of caramel, malty tones. Taste comprises fruit slice, malt forward, hint of caramel, light brown bread notes, grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Fine for the style.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 7A). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L120419 (BBF 02/2020). AROMA: initial medium-low diacetyl, followed by medium-low malt aroma (grainy-like). APPEARANCE: intense gold colour and translucent. medium off-white head, creamy, with medium retention. TASTE: initial medium diacetyl, followed by medium malt with a slight toffee component. medium-high bitterness, unbalanced with malt. finishes dry and bitter. PALATE: medium-light body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a vienna lager that needs some tweaking.
