33cl bottle, waxed cap, brought back from Madeira for me by two friends last year. Drank at home on 20th November 2025. Poured into my huge Judas glass to allow the beer to breath and settle down a little. Misted brown body, red hue, wispy head that never really got going, it looks 'moody' to be honest. Nose is all about red wine and malts, taste is the same, some sweetness in the flavour, rich and full bodied. It's a proper winter, by the fireside sort of brew, love these sort of beers. Fifth beer in a mini tasting with myself, Margie is out and I'm having some fun before taking Bertie to pick her up later. Life's good when you drink beers like this!

0,33 butelje fra Mercado dos lavradores, på balconasen i Funchal: uklar gylden med ok skum. En helt grei pøseøl med furunål, urter og ganske god maltsmak. Noen florale innspill i avslutningen.

Clear golden/orange colour with a white head. Fruity orange aroma and good bitter flavours of orange marmalade and tangerine. A really nice IPA - highly recommended.

0,33 butelje fra Mercado dos lavradores, delt med Kitty på balconasen i Funchal: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Grapefrukt, furunåler og bitterappelsin i en slank maltkropp. Greit nok, men heller ikke mer.
