Faxe 10%

Tap to rate

Intensely flavourful and unapologetically powerful, with a harmonious taste, a wild edge and a slight sweetness that gives it a vinous character. Balanced yet untamed, it is smooth and easy to drink for its strength, and all that power comes from brewing alone, with no added alcohol. Water, malted barley, glucose syrup, maize and hops make up the recipe of this extra feisty power lager.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Faxe 10%

◎ Appearance

Faxe 10% presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright luster. The head forms dense and persistent white foam with fine Schaumkleiden that cling to the glass walls throughout the drinking experience. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a refined visual presence despite the beer's considerable strength.

◌ Aroma

The nose combines honeyed grain sweetness with subtle noble hop character and soft floral notes. Beneath these lie gentle alcohol vapors and a faint vinous warmth, speaking to the beer's 10% ABV. No harsh solvent edges intrude; instead, the aromatic profile remains harmonious and inviting, with malt and corn syrup contributing gentle fruity undertones.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and surprisingly easy-drinking for its strength, with full-bodied malt character coating the palate. Mid-palate develops honeyed sweetness balanced by restrained bitterness (25 IBU) and a touch of noble hop spice. The finish carries subtle residual sweetness without cloying, while the alcoholic warmth emerges gradually rather than aggressively, maintaining drinkability throughout.
