The Can Says: "Lynx Super, Brewed In Holland"

Rortise Says: 8.5% seems to be the current average super level behind the "Big boys" of Spesh, Super T, Skol and Kestrel. A 500ml can is a pleasent surprise as Lynx Altra's main contenders would surely be the supermarket own brand lagers that are favoured by those who want something different from the 4 established super lagers. The silver can looks classy, if a tad dated but it ensures that the red screams out "half a litre" at you. You'd have to be blind to miss that! Being brewed in Holland could be considered a good thing as the continent has a reputation for good super lagers. Amsterdam Maximator hails from Holland so the country has a good pedigree for super's but will Lynx match up?

The can opened without a problem, as is the want of cans nowadays. The smell had a hint of chemicals but was not over harsh as some supers are. The first taste was quite amicable on the palette and further sips went down just as well. The fizz in the lager was just right and added, rather than detracted, from the overall experience. The strength is not noticeable until after the 4th can which you'll find yourself drinking very quickly indeed. A good tasting super, with a good smell and a good price.

In Conclusion: At the start of the review the pedigree of the Dutch superlager community was at stake. It has now been elevated even further in the trampjuice reckoning. Lynx Altra is a super with quality written all over it. A quality can, a quality smell and a quality taste. Unfortunately the only downside is the 8.5% strength. All in all well done Lynx Altra your up there with the big boys. 9/10
