Sagres Original

◎ Appearance

Sagres Original presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. The head is modest but persistent, with fine carbonation visible as a steady stream of tiny bubbles rising through the glass. A crisp, clean visual presentation that immediately signals its refreshing character.

◌ Aroma

The nose is delicate and straightforward, with subtle grainy-malt notes complemented by a light herbaceous hop character. There's a faint bread-like quality reminiscent of fresh baked goods, with minimal yeast esters or adjunct aromas. Clean and unpretentious, inviting immediate consumption.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and refreshing with a light, smooth entry and clean grain-forward character. The mid-palate reveals a gentle malty sweetness with dry, cereal notes that maintain balance without excessive bitterness. The moderate hop presence (12 IBU) provides just enough definition to prevent flatness, finishing with a dry, clean conclusion.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium, dry and clean without lingering bitterness or sweetness. It leaves the palate refreshed and eager for the next sip, perfectly suited to its intended context as a social, food-friendly lager.
