Faxe Premium Lager

Brewed by: Royal Unibrew
Brewed at: Faxe, Denmark
Type: Lager
5% A/V

First Impression
A handsome enough can. No mistaking it for anything else. The graphics are pure "beer label". A great gold colored beer, with a head that seemed to disappear as fast as the girls I went to high school with used to...

First Sip
The typical sort of German or Pilsner hoppiness only better! A satisfying concoction of malted barley and hops.

Halfway
The sharp hop bitterness characteristic of other European lagers is making an appearance halfway through this beverage. A nice sweet undertone. As good as about any of a dozen or so other lagers from Germany, Czech Republic, et al. Not terribly inspired.

Bottoms Up
A reasonably decent beer. Definitely not awful. Not really distinctive either however. Faxe just Sort of blended in with the European crowd without making too much of a fuss. Not that that's a bad thing for a beer to do...

77/100
