Tesco Super

8.6%, 4 440ml Cans, £4.20  From Various Tesco Stores

The Can Says: "Lots of stuff, including a handy nutrition information"

Rortise says: Tesco Super is another one of those supermarket supers which come in 440ml cans and average at around 8.5% However Tesco Super comes out at 8.6% whether this extra point one of a percent makes much difference to the average super buyer is another question but Tesco obviously feels that it sells and we at Trampjuice welcome the trend for stronger beers. The can design is top notch with a very "year 2000" look which is very pleasing on the eye. The colour isn't too eye catching and it is very understated. Which we like. The ring pull opens with no hassle at all.

Tesco handily supply us with nutritional information and we would like all super lagers to follow suit. As we can see there are almost 350 calories per can and so in a four can pack your getting 1400 calories. This is good if your on a diet as you can have one for breakfast one for lunch and two for your evening meal also Tesco Super Lager is 100% fat free. Perfect! The news gets even better as the taste is extremely palatable and the cans slip down nicely as the alcohol content is superbly disguised. Unlike most super lagers this is one which you could drink in place of Stella as an everyday lager, one which you could share with the lady in your life, even.

In Conclusion: Tesco Super promised a lot and it certainly delivered on these promises. Straight from the can design to the refreshing taste this brew constantly achieved top marks with the only detraction being the brand name and the size of the cans. We commend Tesco upon putting the nutritional information on its cans to help guide super lager buyers everywhere. Tesco Super is perfect in almost every way but its lack of a 500ml can size lets it down as such it still achieves a perfectly reasonable 9/10
