2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Can. First new rating in my new apartment - oh yay! Yellow body with a small white head. Industrial grainy aroma, light alcohol notes. Flavour is noticably boozy but not offensively so. Flavour is fairly clean at cold temperature, with slight notes of odd fruity and vegetal notes, thin graininess. Average to thin palate. Bland and boring, but not nearly as anticipated. Perhaps a cold serving temperature is the key?

haven’t had a rocket fuel for quite some time, this brings back old memories of OE 800.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
A bit of head on a light colour. A bit of malt in aroma, the alcohol is not noticeable. Not much in taste, but also not offensive. Light mouhfeel.
1.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
500 mL can: You know, I used to buy this stuff if there was no Giraffe on hand (a stomachable 8.3%). This is a strong lager whose alcohol content will knock you over & overwhelm all taste. Stick with the Giraffe or a strong Belgian.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Switched from 10% to 8.4% in 2003? Strange, I just bought a 10% can in 2007. Anyways, I bought this because there was no more Faxe Extra Strong on the shelves. Bad move on my part. It pouted just like the average malt liquor, a foamy head that didn’t last. Aroma of copper and other metals with a hint of alcohol (maybe a bit of hops?). The taste was basically just a strong copper mineral water that was slightly foul. Strangely enough, when I started on my second can it tasted fairly different (it was only a bit warmer), but this time it was even more foul with the taste of metal, blood, and vomit. Not much of an alcoholic taste that you would expect from 10%, but still fairly strong. Not a good strong lager to drink unles if it’s ice cold.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Can, 10%. Metal aroma, but almost OK. Clear golden colour. Nice stable white head. Very peppery flavour. Not sweet like many ESLs.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Can.(10 % ) Yellow colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, alcohol. Flavour is fruit, malt, alcohol. I dont like this one.
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
On tap, in Rome, Italy, in october/2004. Its alcohol is very present in the palate. I didn´t like it.
