Super Bock

Hunting through the international selection at my local Tesco on the weekend i stumbled across Super Bock (5.6% abv). I really should have paid closer attention to the packaging! I was expecting a German style bock, but instead I received pale chemically tasting tramp juice! The beer is actually Portuguese, and I suppose anybody who has been there before would have heard of it. Im just the fool who has not been there! from Wikipedia;

"Super Bock is a Portuguese brand of strong pale lager from the Unicer brewery which produces a range of beers under the same name. Established in 1927, Unicer is based in Leça do Balio, just outside the city of Porto, Portugal. Its Super Bock brand is the most popular beer in Portugal (42% market share/Sept. 1998), especially in the north of the country, and competes well against Sagres and Coral (Madeira) in the rest of Portugal. It is the only beer to have won 15 consecutive gold medals in the "Monde Selection de la Qualite". It is sold in 90% of restaurants and markets in Portugal, and in 21 countries including Angola, Bermuda, Canada, Mozambique, Spain and the UK"

Sounds interesting enough, its just a pity that its euro-mega swill of the worst variety!

At least their commercials actually realise that sex sells!
