Russo (942) - Campinas, BRAZIL - DEC 6, 2011
Bottle. Amber color with a nice white head that gone fast but keep a lacing until the finish. Aroma is malty, fruity and some sweetness. Taste is malty as aroma and a nice balanced bitterness and sweetness. I could fell both and the mouthfell keeps the bitterness for a long time while you fell the sweetness on your lips. Very good one!!!
