"con cevada plantada na granja cemary" - 4.8%
473 ml metal bottle purchased and consumed in Manaus, Brazil.

Clear pale golden body with a white head that has decent retention and leaves bands of lacing.

Feel: Light+ lively body with crisp, medium-high carbonation. Semi-dry finish.

Taste: a little bit more like a pilsener than some other Brazilian "pilsens". Mildly bitter aftertaste reveals some hops.

Smell: cereal, light malts and a touch of spicy/herbal hops.

O: Don’t let the premium packing fool you, This is just a rather ordinary Brazilian "pilsen".

Just a little bit less awful than the regular Brahma. Maybe a little bit less off-flavors and a bit more smell. Maybe.

Only drinkable at nearly freezing point temperature at a very hot day.

The only plus side is the marketing around the brazilian national soccer team and the limited edition collectors bottle.

No comments on the marketing side, meaning the nice bottling and the malt supposedly coming from the Brazilian national team training site, Granja Comary.
Light golden color, limpid with apparent carbonation and one finger head with short retention, but leaving some laces.
Light aroma of grassy hops. Actually very light, at least it does not bother as the quite unpleasant traditional scent from regular Brahma.
Sweet flavor of bread malt, a bit of corn, floral and herbal hops, minerals, some lemony and very mild cardboard and cooked vegetables, the latter it was felt after warming up well. Dry aftertaste with a mild bitterness.
Watery to light body with good carbonation.
This is better balanced than the regular Brahma with a bit more hops and attenuated off-flavors. I also believe it did help to have a bottling date and that it was under 3 months ago.
