I guess American hops have become too mainstream in the Brazilian craft scene. Oh, sorry, that was the hipster in me typing. Well, I think there's nothing wrong with English hops, so it is pleasing to see something different for a hoppy beer. From a stubby 310 ml bottle, on to the beer:

It's a dark orange beer with a small head and solid head retention. As a beer with English hops, I wasn't expected to be blown away with lupulins. That serves true here. The aroma is soft with a duet of esters and a gentle kiss of hops. The taste itself brings forward English malt, earthiness, a note of esters (I suspect the yeast is English too) into this smooth, medium bodied beer which doesn't go bitter. Not a mind blowing beer, but nice.
