Thanks to the brewer who send it (on his own initiative) all the way from Portugal so that we could try it + Beerlover_Ben. 330 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG IV. Blackish, little head. Nose is sweet, malty, cold coffee, basic cholate. Taste is cold coffee, touch herbal, a touch watery, light roast, chocolate. Touch watery, lighter body. Good but not top but considering that this is from a country with no real tradition of specialty beer, I am quite impressed.

Thanks to the brewer who send it (on his own initiative) all the way from Portugal so that we could try it + Beerlover_Ben.330 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG IV. Hazy golden, little white head. Nose is green hops, lavender, eucalyptus, air refresher bitter with a light crystal-like touch caramel malt sweetness. Taste is green hops, eucalyptus, mint, lemon, floral grass, some sweetish white sugar-like qualities, dough, mint bitter finish. Higher carbonation. Interesting but not king of the hill. Very imperessive for Portugal which I believe has no specialty beer tradition.

Bottle @ RBBWG 2015 shared by the brewer! Wow, very generous as he couldn’t attend the tasting himself. Slightly unclear orange color, medium sized off-white head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma suspects that it is too young still. It really tastes like it’s not yet at its best. Still, it’s nicely hoppy but very grassy. Taste lightly malts, nicely hoppy, nicely grassy and bitter. Not bad at all.

Bottle split at the Cotteridge Convention, thanks to Scopester and the brewer Andre, 24/01/15. Hazed orange amber with a decent off white covering. Nose is pine, bitter citric rind, orange pith, soft grapefruit. Taste comprises earthy hops, mineral rinse, pine needle, orange pith, bitter citric peel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, hoppy wash in the close. Decent enough fayre.
