Keg at Beer Station, Lisboa. The aroma is fresh, sweet, jammy, red berry, pink grapefruit and cake. The taste is dry, restrained bitterness, toasty grain, soapy citrus, jammy red berry and slightly burnt notes with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit soapy and sticky. Pretty so-so.
