Bottle. Color: Amber, very thin white head. Taste: According to the label this is supposed to be a barley wine...? Ok, there are some notes of a barleywine, but this one is lacking everything: Color, alcohol, taste, warmth, complexity and body. What remains is a very thin taste of barley, some maltiness, bread and a lightly bittery thin finish. And some lightly metallic and cloves hints too. Definitely not what you expect from a barley wine. Don't know if it's ment to be like this... Not worth buying...

33cl Bottle, at Medieval in Guimaraes. Hazy golden orange colour, white head. Aroma of mango, soft and fruity, floral. Flavour is medium sweet, fruity, mango, some citrus, very floral, nice level of bitterness, light earthy. Light to medium bodied. Very nice mellow IPA, very much to my taste. Or because it was 35 degrees in the sun. Anyway, enjoyed it very much.
