Shared 1 liter can at RBNAG 2011. Pale yellow colour. Totally uninteresting and pointless aroma. Bland and boring flavour, really one to forget.

It is what it is……..This is your typical standard European lager made to chug while watching soccer the world’s second most boring sport, baseball is the most boring. Gold in color, very malty, standard European hop profile, slight skunk, dark apple. Very full flavor. You can drink this in mass and never get offended by it. The end. I’m not proud of this review it’s a very weak effort on my part. I’ll do better on my next review I promise.

I love this beer. It's only sold individually in 500 ml cans where I live and it costs about $3 a can. It's pretty smooth and has a bit of a buttery aftertaste. Give it a shot.

Pours a pale, clear yellow with a small white cap. Nice active carbonation, somewhat reminiscent of champagne actually makes this beer look enticing. A thin layer stays on top for a while. There is nothing really special about how it looks but it looks good, i don't know what it is. (perhaps it's just that I worked 10 hours today) The beer smells fresh with a nice balance of hops and malt. The flavour starts sharp, almost metallic and it flows into a strange, grainy follow and aftertaste. This beer was pretty good until I tasted it. Its leaves some aloppy lacing on the glass and that thin layer is still on top of the beer. Medium carbonation and a medium mouthfeel.

This Danish effort is smells a bit tinny and pours quite flat. On taste..the metallic theme continues..which is a shame as you can alomst taste through to a decent beer beneath.

Impressively big 1 liter can of beer. Has a cool looking Viking on this red whit and green label. Poured into a one liter tumbler, this stuff is pale yellow with a big rocky head. Aroma is a little sweet and volatile, perhaps even a tad candy heller in the olfactory. Initially I thought the taste was rather cheap malt liquorish but it now seems to be going a bit milder. Has a little more bite than a pale lager but I’m not sure why this would be a premium, its pale lager all the way. Many other pale lagers have more hop bite than this. Not too obscene on the palate, comes across rather friendly its own sorta way. Some inference of bitter wet hay on the tongue and I do feel a little hop or malt bitter bite raising its little head. Not overwhelming mind you, just enough bitter bite to let you know it may be something a little more than a cheap pale lager. Don’t think this stuff is free of adjuncts nor has a softer carbonation than Pale Lager or Classic German Pilsner. Acceptable for the most part. Glad I had a chance to try it but many domestic lagers can provide the same experience. Finish is typical cheap pale lager, with a tad of lingering bitterness. FAXE S4L2F3T4O10

The beer pours a translucent dark gold with some reddish hues. The head started out as loose and bubbly before quickly receding to a thin ring. The aroma was very grassy with nothing else notably present. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, medium carbonated. The flavour was primarily grainy malt with a little peppery spiciness on the tip of the tongue.

This is a clear golden yellow beer with carbonation aplenty. The head was white, fluffy, and presto!......it was gone. The aroma was cereal with a hoppy tinge. The flavour was very grainy with rice-like hints. Not a great beer.

For a yellow fizzy beer, I thought Faxe Premium had more flavor that most beers of this ilk. Little (if any) of the white head dissolves into the highly carbonated golden liquid. Grainy, yet smooth, Faxe was in my opinion, in the upper echelon of this brewing style. Faxe is a good refreshing beer for a very hot day, but beyond that, it's nothing more.

A very simple beer. I wasn't expecting much more but was still kind of disappointed.
