Cervejaria Invicta

 

Rating took from last week notes.

 

Had this from a 500 ml bottle. Aroma is of strongly floral hops, a little bit of spice, herbal, a little citrus. Taste is a bit hop forward but with a good soft bready malt balance, a little creamy, bitter back, not too much linger. Easy drinkability.

 

 

 

 

 

My first beer in Brazil in three years! 500 ml bottle consumed at Rock Fella Burgers and Beer, on to it we go:

There is a slight haze inside this yellowish orange beer. The head retention on top is good, even when sitting in a boring shaker pint glass. The aroma brings some resin, grass, and grapefruit peel. Soft overall is the aroma, not one that will bring down the house. The beer has balance, some notes of citrus and honey, not bitter, smooth and quaffable. This is how a "session" IPA should be; soft with some hops and easy to drink without numbing your palate with hops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crisp, light IPA, floral hops with citrus and a clean bitterness.

 

500ml bottle served in a ordinary glass.

Nice bottle art. Beautiful label and bottle style

A: Pours a light orange color forming a medium, bubbled and creamy white head. Some lingering lacings formed and left in the glass

S: Strong citrus notes. Hops a very citrus with some light notes of pine. Notes of sweet pale malts

T: Light sweet grains in upfront, followed by citrus, grassy and pine notes. Quite dry and bitter, in overall. Notes of pale and caramel malts, however the malt taste fade quickly. This could be more malty

M: Light body. Medium carbonation. Citrus and grassy aftertaste

O: Great drinkability. I've been quite impressived by the quality of Invicta brews

IPA of a golden color with some amber tones and a whity and somewhat creamy foam.
Smell and taste are citric and hoppy - really fruity! Could feel tangerine, lemon and some mango. Bitterness is at good level but it could be maltier.
Body is moderate, carbonation is at average.
