Bottled in Bahia. Dark pour, some light maltiness and very very mild bitters. Not bad for a change of pace in Brazil.

Draught at SP airport. Yellow pour, yellow taste - slightly better than your standard BZ lager but pretty boring otherwise.

Bottled from SP airport. Brown with some light hoppy aromas and taste. Not super "tropical" but not bad for a brazilian pale ale.

Typical swill. Some acetaldehyde and grainy notes. Higher alcohols. So a few unpleasant things, although this one does seem to have a few more IBUs than most Brazilian brands…more on part with the Amstels and Stellas down here.

This is a serviceable lager where the maltiness adds enough body to lend a bit of something different to it. But still.... meh.

Bottle at Burrito on Shandwick Place, Edinburgh. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - some tropical fruit but generally honey and pale malt. Taste - more honey and malt. Palate - light bodied, creamy and a bit cloying on the finish. Overall - could be fresher, since it's a lager.

355 ml bottle 4.8% ABV (just out of date) drank on 18th Feb 2017. Golden yellow, clean and clear, short lasting white head. Malty lead with a slight fruity undertone in both the nose and taste. I thought this OK to be fair, certainly better than anything Mexico pushes out as Pale Lagers.
