At a quirky and gaudy little oceanside restaurant called the Museu da Cerveja in Lisbon, I ordered a 330mL bottle of Metropolitan Pale Ale from Dois Corvos Cervejeira in Lisbon. Billed as an American-style pale ale, the
beer contains 5.6%. It’s a bronze-gold ale; clear, with very little
head.
Extremely fresh (the bottle says it was brewed
on August 20 and I drank it on September 1), Metropolitan had a subtle
bitter grapefruit nose. The flavour had candied grapefruit up front and
an understated citrus hop at the rear.
The
first Portuguese craft beer that I really enjoyed, Metropolitan Pale Ale
was a treat to cool off on a hot afternoon. When in Lisbon, I’d
recommend this as a reliable go-to brew.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
