Many thanks to andrepintado for this bottle! Color is dark redbrown, black, frothy brown head. Aroma: toast, coffee, chocolate, earthy. Taste: riped fruits, nuts, coffee, roasty. medium body, oily feel, average carbonation.

Sample from 33 cl. bottle. Hazy, amber colour with a thin, off-white head. Fruity aroma with peaches, almond, caramel malts and grasses. Taste is bitter. Medium body with a creamy texture and a lively carbonation. Finishes dry and bitter with tropical fruits. This has a lot of tropical fruits, actually - taste is more bitter than aroma might suggest.

Review based on the BJCP2008 guidelines (style 14A). Bottle 33 cl - batch L112149. AROMA: nice floral and fruity aromas with notes of passionfruit and citrus fruits. faint sweet malt background. APPEARANCE: light amber color and just slightly hazy. average off-white moussy head with good retention. TASTE: floral and somewhat fruity flavor, reminiscent of faint passionfruit notes and some citrus (orange-like). mild sweet malt background with a toffee like note. medium-high bitterness that lingers into a semi-dry finish and beyond. PALATE: medium-light body with average carbonation. no hop derived astringency. OVERALL: maybe the best portuguese craft IPA.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a hazy golden with a delicious creamy and lacing off-white head. Fruity bubblegum aroma but I lack some crispy hops. Medium body, lovely fruitiness, the comes come more through flavour wise getting all tropical with a massive late bitterness. Work with the aroma - dryhoppimg - and this would be a very nice IPA. 100115
