Just found a great website with some fantastic tongue-in-cheek reviews of stuff like Tennents Super and Special Brew. It's very funny.

Extract from the Love the review of Tesco Super:
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.

The Can Says: "11.6% Super Strong"
Rortise Says: I was very pleased when a friend brought back 3 different supers from a beer run to France after enduring the pain of frostbite on his extremities. The first impression of the can was very good to say the least with 500ml and 11.6% this was bound to be a winner. A quick mental arithmetic test showed that each can contains a whopping 5.8 units of alcohol. A beast if there ever was - but what exactly does this taste like?
This Dutch beer opened without any hassle from the ring pull - full credit there then! The smell was quite sweet, like most supers but it didn't have the harsh after smell typically associated with super strength lager. The taste was one of a quality super to rival Bavaria 8.6. The 11.6% is misleading as you cannot actually taste the strength - full credit to the brewers for obtaining this. As for the can design, it's quite an "old skool" design which accentuates its 11.6% credentials it is always good to see different languages on the can - including arabic!
In Conclusion: Amsterdam Maximator is indeed the holy grail of the super lager world. It took a quest of great length and injury to obtain such a worthwhile beast. 11.6% and 500ml cans simply blow away Tennent's super and Special Brew with arrogance. The taste is absolutely sublime with no hints of bananas which some supers sometimes taste of. The team feel that we should award this brew 10/10 but not our Tramps choice award as its availability in the UK is lacking. Get down to Calais Tesco and grab some! 10/10
Maverick says: A bastard to take a picture of, but a good brew nonetheless.

Re Tennents Super:
"And what a taste! It can only be described as a cross between dog shit and mouldy cheese with a hint of sweetness. But here in lies the appeal of Tennents-even though the taste is so bad it is still drinkable it really is something that has to be experienced to be believed and drinking this brew should be near the top of anyones list of things to do before they die"
