Fucksake BV ... crashed on entering ... not so bad if its a great beer ... doesn't inspire to bother again on average!
Moderately hazed golden orange topped with an off white cap.
Passable pale ... not much to say, herb, straw, modest citrus.

Keg at Pato Brewing - The Crafty Taproom, Cascais, 30/04/2025.
Amber orange pour with an off white cap.
Nose is bitter fruit esters, grass, herb, grains, light chemical notes.
Taste comprises sharp citric bite, astringent, grass, herb, bitter, no true flavours associated with an IPA ... just off notes.
Medium bodied, prickly carbonation, semi drying close laced with unwelcoming astringent hop bitterness.
By no means are this lot great brewers, but good to have a taproom in Cascais, however this is a tragedy of a beer.
A semi-competent home brewer would outscore this by 1.5 to 2.0.
Over carbonated, harsh, astringent, lacklustre .. horror show ... left half behind.
Just to be clear ... this IS NOT a good RB score where I've got confused!

From tap at The Crafty Cellar, Cascais. Aroma is malt, bit bubblegum-y, funny yeast, sugary fruits. Moderate sweet and bitter. Medium body. Sweetish, curious, pleasant enough.

From tap at The Crafty Cellar, Cascais. Nicely roasty aroma with chocolate, some hops even with fruity notes. Almost medium bitter, lower on sweetness/milk aspect than I expected. Medium body. A hoppy Milk Stout, not complaining!

From tap at The Crafty Cellar, Cascais. More hop-forward than I expected for a Brown Ale, then I remembered the name. Picking up fruits from the Chinook, brown malt backbone with some caramel. Medium body. Okay.

From tap at The Crafty Cellar, Cascais. Fruity with a slight hint of smoked beechwood. Notes of orange, lightly marmalade. Some grapfruity hops. Mild to medium bitter, light sweet. Medium bitter. Decent Pale Ale, could have used a bit more smoke.
