The Can Says: "Scorpion Super Strength Lager"

Rortise Says: The "Scorpion Island Brewing Company" brew this lager of notable can size. Having never heard of these brewers before I didn't know what to expect from the can which is predominantly black with touches of gold and a splash of Super T blue. The picture of a scorpion on the front does not bode well as it is not an icon which is synonymous with super strengths, unlike the blue can of Super T or the gold coloured Spesh. 8.5% seems to be the norm nowadays so does Scorpion taste good or does it have a sting in its tail?

Scorpion poured with a lot of head, as is normal with many super strengths. The smells is slightly soapy with undertones of lager contrasting with the medicinal smell. The colour is one of a normal lager, a nice pale orange colour - too light to be called amber - from the colour you couldn't tell the difference between this and, say, Carling. The taste is more akin to Super T than anything else, although it has to be said that it is slightly less harsh. There is a slight sting on the back of the throat but it is just that, slight. At the end of the day this super is fairly palatable although the taste is nothing to rival Bavaria or Tesco super it is still one to be enjoyed.

In Conclusion: 8.5% is becoming the norm for the challengers to Super T and Spesh nowadays but a 500ml can is not. For this reason Scorpion Super gains an extra bonus point. The taste is amicable, but there is a lack of tramps drinking this fine brew and this has to be taken into account also. All in all the Trampjuice.tk team feel that Scorpion Super scores high but not high enough with a commendable 7/10
