Beer #10 - Faxe Royal Strong

The Faxe Brewery from Denmark has been brewing since 1901 as a small local brewery and has grown to a European brewing giant.   This offering is one of their highest alcohol content beers but still drinks smooth.

It has a very light & clear golden hue with a thick white and foamy head.

It has a fruity and hoppy aroma, with the alcohol content quite apparent in the smell.

It tastes surprisingly light for the high alcohol content. It starts with fruity notes with the hops coming into the taste and gently fading away leaving a clean and crisp taste on the palatte.

Overall it's a nice beer that drinks way easier and smoother than one would expect with an 8% alcohol content. It is a very refreshing beer and would be great on a summer day, just be careful with how easily it drinks.
