Lager 10 º

Royal Unibrew

Faxe 10% presents a concentrated evolution of the International Pale Lager, amplified to a potent strength. The sensory profile is defined by a deep, grainy malt base that carries a noticeable but integrated sweetness. Despite its high 10% ABV, the beer maintains a clean fermentation profile typical of the style, eschewing heavy esters for a streamlined, vinous quality. The water profile, filtered through coral and lime, provides a crisp mineral foundation that balances the significant alcohol warmth. It finishes remarkably smooth and drinkable, offering a robust, full-bodied experience that trades subtle floral hop notes for a warming, spirit-like elegance.

Appearance. Deep gold color (6 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a white, frothy head that displays moderate retention and light lacing, which is notable despite the high alcohol content.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a clean fermentation profile. Prominent grainy-malty and slightly corny-sweet malt aroma is complemented by a distinct vinous alcohol presence. Very low herbal hop notes are buried beneath the malt and ethanol.

Taste. Initial impression is sweet and warming. Low to moderate grainy-malt flavors dominate, featuring a light bready character and corn-like sweetness. Hop bitterness is low, providing just enough balance to prevent a cloying finish. The flavor is defined by a vinous, spirit-like quality from the 10% alcohol, leading to a lingering, warm, and slightly sweet aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a noticeable viscous quality. High carbonation provides a carbonic bite that helps cut through the weight. Significant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, lacking harsh fusel edges.
