Formerly called Faxe Premium Danish Lager

Faxe Premium is a classic international premium lager with a smooth, distinctive taste. The combination of the finest malt, hops and own water results in an all-malt premium beer, which is full-bodied, however at the same time pleasantly mild with a round taste and a smooth mouthfeel. A crisp and well-balanced lager beer.

I purchased this at a random petrol station in Bayreuth, Bavaria, in September 2023. Buying beer at a petrol station is utterly foreign to an Australian, where beer can only be purchased at licensed liquor stores. Needless to say, this was an offering I took up many times while in Germany! The beer in focus was drunk a few weeks later at Schechen in Bavaria, where we'd camped for the last few nights of our four-week stay in Germany.

L: Crystal clear, honey-gold. Fluffy, bright-white head. Some carbonation in the glass. It looks like beer.

S: Bready malt. Very mild floral hops.

T: Sweet, bready malt. Long, sweet finish. Almost no bitterness.

M: Relatively smooth. Very mildly carbonated.

O: This is a classic European lager, stripped bare of any bitterness and personality. That said, it could be drunk quickly and in bulk, and perhaps that's the point.

Cheers!

Well; sold in 1 Liter cans. Has an odd smell and the taste is flat, very poor carbonation. Foam head disappears instantly. One Liter in one session is too much of that crap.

Faxe "Premium" from Denmark, with a viking...they must make it. Or it gives you super human country invading powers.

Never had a Danish beer before. I assume it will be similar to German but who knows.

Fairly impressive head.

Aroma is mostly bubbles, cannot detect much.

Simple sweet malt taste, not much in the way of hops. A bit standard and boring really. Taste is kind of skunky and bitter without any hoppy fruity or flowery flavour.

I thought maybe it would have some kind of Danish uniqueness, but it doesn't.

Actually I just remembered Carlsberg is kind of Danish, so I have had one before ; ) One of the most famous yet worst beers I have ever had.

This one literally is on a similar level I think, just less famous. No wonder the vikings wanted to invade other countries so much.
