8.0 Premium

8.0%, 1 500ml Can €0.80 From Your Local France

The Can Says: "8.0% Premium"

Rortise Says: Is this a super? At only 8% it could be said not to be. It doesn't even claim to be a super, merely "strong beer" however a 500ml can works in its advantage. If Sainsbury's can claim that 7.5% is a super then this surely is a super as well. The sleek black design is good but its availability in the UK is not. This brew didn't promise much but would it deliver on the little that it did promise?

The ring pull was quite some effort to open which suggested a somewhat industrial super. The smell was one of gone off lager which was never a good sign. The taste itself was a tad wheaty with no harsh after taste or surprises on the palette. In comparison to some supers it does taste good but to compared to Bavaria it doesn't therefore it is a somewhat middle of the road super. The strength is hidden well but as it is only 8% it is nearer the strength of Stella than Amsterdam Maximator.

In Conclusion: This super didn't have much to live up to which is all fair and well because if it had it wouldn't have lived up to them. It isn't dire like LCL or Asda but it isn't great either. Also it is quite hard to get hold of which also detracts from this brew. Therefore a fair 4/10 is awarded.

The Zoo Says: "Smells like cat food, tastes like council pop"
