2.48/5  rDev -31.1%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 2 | feel: 2 | overall: 3

Appearance: slightly hazy, deep orange-bronze colour. The head is off-white, low and foamy. Poor retention and almost no lacing.
Aroma: sweet malts, citrus fruits, yeast and spices.
Taste: lightly toasted flavour, spices, little bit of molasses and a butterscotch presence. Very light on the hop side.
Mouthfeel: smooth, very high carbonation and a medium body. Well-disguised alcoholic strength.
Finish: slightly sweet and lingering diacetyl aftertaste.

Overall: drinkable but not very enjoyable. Could use more balance and the butterscotch flavour is too strong. I had much betters Eisenbahns.

355 mL bottle, thanks Jon,

A: Pours burnt orange with a mild white head, average head retention, no lace.

S: Estery, pear and mandarin oranges, marmalade.

T: Tad boozy early on, but gives way to a spicy sweet orange flavour with apple and pear esters. Notes of pineapple abound, intermingling with the other flavours.

M: Medium-bodied, but heavy on the palate, crisp, a clean beer. Bit of a peppery sweet aftertaste, but mild.

D: Very solid and well made BSPA, better flavours than a lot of what comes out of Belgium. Good show.

look: 2.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2

An oddly sediment-suspended dark golden colour, with a very filmy head of slightly white foam. The head is only really a collar of large-bubbled foam around the edges. No lacing. I can't say it's a particularly inspiring brew all up.

Bread and slight banana characters on the nose. Bit of cellar mustiness and a wet cardboard oxidised character. All up, let's face it, it's not a great nose. Lots of slightly off characters, but all together it's not unpleasant.

Very light palate, with some sweetness and a bit of yeasty bread character on the back. A little acerbic with some medicinal bite mid-palate. The sweetness gets a bit cloying after a while, and it has a peppery bite on the back which makes this even more difficult. Mouthfeel a bit cloying.

I find it difficult to drink. I'm not a big fan all up. The sweetness is too much, and there's certainly not enough good characteristics to pull it through.

Poured from a 33cl bottle into a tulip.

A - Cloudy golden amber colour. Minimal head.

S - Sweet malts. Bread and fruit at the same time.

T - Again as with the aroma - it's sweet malts most dominant here. Touch of mild fruit as well.

M - Smooth and creamy. Not much of an aftertaste but if there is it comes straight from sweet berries.

D - Simple belgian recipe executed with Brazilian flair!

Pours a murky orange colour, yellow spectrum at the top when held up to the light with slow carbonation. Produced a thin white head at first pour that dissipates, leaving a film of decent lace revealing a moderate body. Looks flat but holds its end up.

Nose is very sweet. A lot of banana ester and a slight hint of bubblegum on there, strong caramel notes underlying with a touch of butterscotch. Candied orange peel as well provides a slight tartness and a whisper of nutmeg provides the only bite. Not overly strong in its sweet which bodes quite well, and a decent complexity.

Taste is bold and sweet. A lot of caramel malt on the front blends with a strong fruitiness which then takes over for the finish. Lots of apricot, banana and grapefruit vie for attention with the final cheer going to banana. Some more bubblegum suggests itself throughout and a good dose of sherry brings together the slight alcohol warmth and the fruity sweetness.

Alcohol most prominent on the feel, with naked booziness giving a harsher texture than necessary. Body is full enough but not assertive enough to overcome the boozey brashness.

Not an unpleasant drop but at best a whimper of what it could have been. Has potentially great flavour but never fully lives up to it.

This beer pours a pale copper hue with average carbonation that leaves a fast vanishing half finger head,it has a strong alcohol honey malt smell about it,on the palette malty alcohol is the dominant taste almost up there with a wee heavy just not well hidden at all and the mouthfeel is quite syrupy not that appealing really definately not a beer that i could drink more than one of in a session and prob struggle to finish this one so definately wont be buying it again and its a shame as i know this brewery can do better.

Served at the Bierkeller in Porto Alegre, on to the beer:

This is golden and bright in color, but the head is lackluster in this case and falls flat on itself. The highlights to be found in this beer are notes of bubblegum, sugar, and pinneapple, both of which can be tastes and smelled. Carbonation is fairly strong, but less than a Duvel. It doesn't even feel like its listed alcohol, where is it?

A solid strong golden ale by Brazil's most famous craft brewery.

It smells as good as it looks, and it looks as good as it tastes.

It's a very fruity beer, I can sense very good hints of apple, and the alcohol content is very well hidden.

This is one of Sudbrack's best beers, IMHO, and I'd drink more of it, if it wasn't for the high alcohol content.
