Tap at Musa Da Bica. Does what it says more or less, ginger’s coming through ok, but the mouthfeel and finish are weird, soapy-sticky. Might be worth looking into water chemistry I presume.

Tap at the Marvila location. At that moment of time with my palate being in that state, I had nothing against this beer.

Tap at the Maravila location. Stale, completely lacking carbonation, weird yeast expression, not great to say the least.
