Advantages: Reasonably cheap, not as bad as it looks

Disadvantages: Not as good as the lighter version

Now if Volt doesn't come across as tramp juice from its can then Volt Strong certainly does, in fact for a while I dismissed it completely as beer because it looked like a caffeine filled drink.

As I mentioned earlier, Volt was actually decent beer and not at all what I expected, so I soon found myself testing Volt Strong, after all Volt was a mere 4.2% and Volt Strong at 6.3%, puts it around the same alcohol percentage as your average Polish lager and therefore needed to be tested.

The colour was considerably darker, an amberish colour, there wasn't a great deal in the way of a head but a reasonable amount of carbonation. The taste itself was not as clean and crisp as the lighter version but a bit more acidic. Whilst it is by no means terrible, it is definitely not on par with its lighter cousin! The beer is acceptable but it's a lighter version of a Polish strong beer with an acidic taste and therefore would be well down the list of either normal lager or a strong lager.

Summary: There are far better beers about
