Description
We were born in 2015 to brew the beers we wanted to drink, and we always kept focused on quality. We settled our brewery in Lisbon’s Graça neighbourhood and from there we started our mission to change beer consumption in Portugal.

We believe we’ve been achieving it daily and we’ll keep doing it. We brewed a dozen of new beers, reached the entire country, managed to export abroad, and opened our own places in Lisbon.

The best part is that we are aware this is just the beginning.

Thanks! 330 ml. Bottle sampled. BBF 06/18. Quite hazy orange, creamy white. Nose is everything you don't want in an IPA, spoiled yeast, sweet bad malt,.. Awful explossive carbonation ruins everything, rotting yeast, malt, sugar, that carb, really awful. Given how the other stuff that I tried by them in Lisboa was actually quite good, I think that the bottle was to blame here.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style X3). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L050164 (BBF 11.2018). AROMA: medium blend of white grape, sulphury and a medium sweet malt bakcground. APPEARANCE: gold color and clear. thin white head with large bubble and low retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with medium-low grape flavor (slight lemony), medium-low sulphury and a slight sweet malt background. medium bitterness with a dry and slightly yeasty finish. PALATE: low body with low carbonation. slight alcohol warmth. OVERALL: a grape ale that would benefit with less sulphur presence.
