Summer is coming, and with summer comes fun, excitement, gigs and holidays. But for a Falmouth student, what is summer without the three B’s? Beach, Barbecue and especially Beer!
Alcohol is apparent in a range of shapes and forms, but I believe I have found the perfect alcoholic summer beverage, Becks Fusion.
This ‘Limited Edition’ beer has only recently appeared on supermarket shelves and it is claimed on the bottles to have a ‘hint of orange zest flavour’ to match the bottle’s bronze foil decoration.
As a student, I understand the difference between a good cheap beer, and a bad cheap beer (with emphasis on the cheap).
At first I was sceptical, and wondered whether fruit and beer could actually prove to be a good tasting alcoholic drink, especially at this hot time of year.
After taking my first sip from a bottle of Becks Fusion, I was instantly surprised.
For only £4.50 for 6 bottles of Becks Fusion, I have found a winner and with all the recent hype about binge drinking and the cost of alcohol being so low, this drink is sold in 4% bottles and its flavour makes for a more casual summer drink than most other standard lagers.
Becks has managed to perfectly fuse the sweet and zesty orange taste with the refreshing taste of Becks beer, something that hasn’t recently been attempted by otherUKbeer brands.
With the first bottle it is easy to liken the taste to that of a becks top, a standard pint of Becks topped up with some lemonade, but after gaining a real taste for the product it is clear that Becks Fusion really does have a unique flavour.
This in my opinion, crowns it beer of the summer.
