Escudo

Escudo is preserved as a Portuguese lager-style beer identity, but exact launch timing and detailed product history require further confirmation before stronger claims are added. The beer is treated cautiously within the Heineken-connected Portuguese archive through Sociedade Central de Cervejas, which became Heineken-controlled in 2008. As a sensory profile, Escudo fits classic pale lager character: golden colour, filtered clarity, bottom fermentation, smooth malt, restrained bitterness, and a clean short finish.
