1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20As many Faxe beers, this looks far better than it is. I guess The good water Faxe brags about makes them think that they don't have to use good ingredients. Plain boring, you drink it, and then it is gone.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Originally rated February 2005. This Danish Amber Lager poured an nice amber colour but the head did not have much retention. Carbonation was medium and some lacing was left on the glass. Slight aromas of sweet malt. Taste was a bit bitter with a smooth cereal aftertaste. Not much here, but a better looking beer for those swill nights.

Bottle. Last date 2005.
Maybe this rating is unfair since the beer has exceeded last date.
golden brown colour with small head. Aroma most off all madeirised and especially so in the taste. Ageing hasn´t done this beer any good.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Dark golden with an OK head and a slightly metallic, perfumed aroma. The flavour is thin with not very strong notes of roasted malt/caramel and an acceptable bitterness in the finish.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
33 cL bottle. Pours deep golden brown/orange with a light off-white head. Sweet caramel malt and slight mouldy aroma. Caramel malt flavoured, clear sweetness, but just enough to balance well with the bitterness into the finish.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Clear amber color with a good lacing average to large white head. Aroma is light malty, caramel, and light hoppy. Flavor is moderate sweet and light hoppy, refreshing but commercial and boring. Body is light, texture is watery, carbonation is soft.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Light amber colour with an average bubbly head. Aroma of malt, some caramel and a bit hoppy. Flavour is hoppy with some caramel and toasted malts. Bit dry aftertaste finish. Tastes pretty allright.

2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
500ml Can: Poured a clear and light amber color beer with a big white foamy head with good retention. Aroma of nutty malt is the only noticeable thing. Taste of lightly sweet nutty malt with a clear finish which very little or no hops included in this beer. Overall, this is a bland and boring but refreshing Vienna.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Old notes: Plain taste of lager beer, just sweeter and with a little more hops in the finish, but that is typical for Faxe, who in my opinion brews the best commercial danish beers. Maybe a little spicy too. Actually a fine beer, but not very special.
