Bottle from Portugal courtesy of Maria. Pours amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of toffee, fruit, honey, hop, malt and brown sugar. Towards heavy sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, average to soft carbonation. Not like most modern IPA's, very sweet, though overall not unpleasant.

I got this bottle in a trade with jwc215. Thanks Joe!
This pours a clear deep amber with a 2 finger head of foam. There's some lacing and head retention is good. This is a nice looking brew.
The smell has notes of caramel malt, grain, and some fruit.
The taste is interesting. A sweetish taste greets my first sip that looks to be a combination of caramel malt and some sweet fruit...wild cherry? Also, I sense a wee bit of a cinnamon presence. Mid palate on, I get a little bit of an earthy flavour that recedes and is replaced by hop bitterness that is fairly lightly done but it's nicely done. It makes *me* want to take another sip. ;^)
Mouthfeel is lightish as is the carbonation. This is quite good and easy drinking. My first brew from Portugal and I'm quite pleased with it.
