Super Bock
Unicer União Cervejeira S.A.

 

Pint can poured into a logoed 12 ounce plastic cup at Lisbon airport. Enjoyed with a fresh croissant.
Rich handsome foam on golden pond that edged down the cup nicely.
Smell is caramel roast grain. ‘Sweet’ stands over malty cereal.
Taste is surprisingly balanced and nuanced. It’s sweet and familiar, what with the adjuncts and all.
Feel is smooth with an air of creaminess. Medium carbonation.
Overall, a nice accompanient for whatever you’re doing. No problem here, other than it’s not ‘Super’, nor is a ‘Bock’.

 

Poured from 200mL bottle into a tumbler. Best by 5/2024.

Appearance: medium golden hue with a clear body and a thin layer of white foam that dissipates pretty quickly.

Smell: lightly sweet and a little grainy with a bit of an adjunct-y rough edge. It's not great, but it's fine.

Taste: like the aroma, there's a little sweetness here, but the adjunct-iness of it all makes this beer just kinda meh. It's reasonably inoffensive, but basically blah.

Mouthfeel: light body with a moderate carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: it's not the worst pale or adjunct lager out there, but it's definitely not the best.

Clear gold, white head, no retention.
Super clean aroma, mineral water, grain, slightly sweet.
Tastes perfectly balanced, good malt flavor, similar to canned Heineken. Probably northern brewer hops, finishes mostly dry.
Great mouthfeel, lower carbonation makes this one of the most crushable beers I’ve ever had. Best buy date 04/2024.
Not sure about the bad reviews, no skunk in mine at all. Never found a brown bottled beer skunked ever. Maybe if all you’re used to is some ultra light crap this might be too much for you. I love it.

 

 

 

 

330 ml bottle poured into a shaker style pint glass.

L: Brilliantly clear pale gold, 1 finger stark white head, fairly solid foam persistent and leaves bits of lace.
S: Very strong skunk to open, after it off gases a while grainy barley malt and green/floral hops are evident but skunk aroma never fully disappears.
T: Light on flavor, sharp and semi-dry, some grainy malt, grassy bitter finish, some hints of white grape.
F: Light body, highly carbonated, very crisp feel, cumulative astringent tongue coat, a bit on the harsh side.
O: Skunkiest smelling beer I've ever had from a brown bottle, below average flavor, below average feel, looks great, curious name.

 

 

 

It’s better than the reviews here. Good for a hot day or by the water.
Pale gold yellow colour with a rich white head; aromas of sweet grain, citrus, caramel and malt with floral, grassy and citrus notes; delicately sweet, medium bodied on a smooth palate, flavours of sweet malt, citrus, herb with mineral, bread and light fruit notes; a pleasant balancing bitter note on the clean finish

Semi-clear golden, thick white head, bread, some caramel, grassy hop, light-to-medium body, moderate carbonation, thirst quenching, goes well with spicy food,

 

picked up this and Sagres to try while in Portugal liked the Sagres better as I didn't care for the taste a below average lager

 

 

Pours a perfectly clear golden color with a substantial white head that laces the glass beautifully. Lovely beer. The nose includes a subdued bready malt aroma and a bit of grassy hops.

The bready malt flavor is forward on the taste and is nice, but could use some help from the hops, which lurk in the background.

The mouthfeel is surprisingly crisp, fitting the beer. I wouldn’t necessarily seek this again, but I wouldn’t push away a bottle of it, either.
