Pele Vermelha
Cervejaria Três Lobos Ltda.

 

 

600 ml bottle poured into small mug in São Paulo, Brazil. I'm impressed. True to American IPA style, it pours clear amber with a nice head. Nice aroma of warm stone fruit, grapefruit, floral hops, a little orange. Taste adds a moderately puckering pine bitterness and emphasizes the grapefruit peel. There is a slight off metallic taste in there, but subtle. It is a bit creamy, medium bodies. Overall an excellent find in a country in which craft beer has not yet taken a strong hold.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice brazilian IPA of a somewhat transparent but nice carmine color and an ok foam.
Smell is hoppy but most citrus, some cherries too.
Taste is similar, and you can feel quite well the orange peels. Bitterness is high and awesome. Extreme in the aftertaste.
Body and carbonation are at good level.

 

 

330ml bottle served in a pokal glass.

Bottle art looks like a reference to the American Flying Dog brewery beers.
This beer is part of the "extreme series" produced by Backer, a brewery located in the state of Minas Gerais - Brazil.
It's a 7% ABV American IPA brewed with orange peel.

A: Pours a dark amber color forming a medium beige head with medium retention and some lingering lacings left in the glass

S: Sweet malts, caramel malts, roasted malts, candy sugar, orange zest, flowery hops. Hops which are also quite piny and a bit citrus. I would dare Centennial

T: Slightly sweet upfront. Strong notes of caramel, caramel malts, candy sugar, roasted malts and flowery and a bit piny hops. Nice notes of orange zest and a good hops sting bitterness in the end despite of the "low" IBU if compared with an American IPA

M: Medium and bit molasses body. Medium carbonation. Nice caramel and hops bitter end

O: Good drinkability. Classic dark American IPA with strong notes of caramel and caramel malts. The orange zest was well introduced since it's quite balanced and not overwhelming. For sure the best one from the "Três Lobos" series

 

 

 

Nice label Poured just one finger head. Nice ruby color.
Delicious hop aroma, peachy, some passion fruit and a hint of citrus.
Low carbonation with tiny bubbles, compatible with high fermentation.
Flavor of toasted malts, differentiating from traditional IPAs. Some sweetness, maybe a little hint of pineapple and grapefruit, and good hand on the condiments. Feels like more bitter than the 53 theoretical IBU (which is good). Medium body.
Aftertaste enhances bitterness and dry with a hint of citrus. Alcohol of 7% is well hidden. It quenched my desire for flavor and the creativity was welcomed.
