Tap to rate

Faxe 7.1 is a strong lager from the Danish Faxe brewery. After Conrad Nielsen's death, his wife Nicoline pressed on with their dream of sending bold-tasting beer around the world, and her grandson Bent took over as CEO at just 23. Today the brewery belongs to Royal Unibrew, and its beers are poured in many countries.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Faxe 7.1

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy malt character—clean and biscuity without harshness. Noble hop notes emerge quietly, contributing herbal and slightly floral undertones that complement rather than dominate. A trace of yeast-derived sweetness rounds out the profile, keeping the aroma balanced and approachable.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with pronounced malty sweetness that forms the foundation of the palate. Mid-palate reveals a gentle grain character and subtle herbal bitterness from the Edelhopfen, totaling 25 IBU—enough to provide structure without aggression. The alcohol (7.1%) remains well-integrated, warming rather than burning.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with the malt receding to leave a soft, slightly dry aftertaste. A whisper of noble hop dryness persists, encouraging another sip without lingering harshness.
