Portugal

3.28/5  rDev -2.4%
look: 2 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Appearance: deep ruby colour. Very low light tan head that vanishes as soon as the pouring is finished. Very clear.
Aroma: sweet malts, a hint of herbal hops, fruits and light caramel.
Taste: confirms the aroma plus some biscuit notes.
Mouthfeel: creamy. Moderate carbonation, moderate alcoholic strength and medium body.
Finish: very long aftertaste, starting sweet and changing gradually to a more bitter finish.

Overall: simple beer. Nothing great but nothing bad about it. Could use more personality but enjoyable nevertheless.

Big thanks to Beetruck for the bottle...very much appreciated!

A - Pours a dark amber orange brown hue that is clear; finger of eggshell head that dissipated really quickly

S - Light earthy hop bitterness, some breadiness; light malt sweetness

T - Bready and biscuity; slight hop presence that was earthy as in the aroma; touch of dark fruits; not bad, but not fantastic. Solid, though

M - Lighter to medium, a little slick; vibrant carbonation

D - Not bad drinking; clean as a lager should be; a richness of body that wasn't expected was an addition to the drinking experience

Not a bad brew, and certainly one of the better ones that I've tried from Portugal.
