Spanish brewed. mega cheap. Strange name, doesn't sound at all Spanish, or particilarly like a word from any other country. Usual lager ingredients with added corn. Personally I much prefer corn in beer to wheat, and it can add an improved flavour profile to mild or budget beers.

Looks budget from the can. And it says "Premium Quality Beer". Never a good sign, especially when a can costs less than 50 pence. For me Spanish beers are rarely terrible but also rarely great. The makers seem to be trying to hide that it is Spanish also, and call it "European brewing made", which is totally incorrect English. And "Koperwiek" definitely doesn't sound Spanish, perhaps Dutch or Danish or something...neither of whom are well known for good beer. Rather a strange decision by Font Salem (also doesn't sound very Spanish). So what are they hiding? Why are they pretending that their Spanish beer is not Spanish?

Rather a thin, bubbly, pale appearance with washing up liquid head that goes down fast. Aroma more like a lemon fizzy drink than a beer.

Wow...so so thin with no body or mouthfeel. Reminds me of a very watery Polish beer called Doner. Corn dominates the flavour. The flavour of the beer is similar to the leftover milk after you have eaten all of the cornflakes, but water instead of the milk.

Barley malt is mega light and almost flavourless. Hops come through very lightly, mostly in the aftertaste. But they are some of the worst hops I have ever tasted. But at least there are no major off flavours or chemical tastes. So it is better than some beers.

This doesn't taste at all Spanish, they tend to always have strong, natural tasting barley malt flavour. This tastes like a mega budget Dutch, Polish or Mexican beer. Obviously the makers are not proud of it, which is why they don't advertise where it is actually from and who makes it. So even though it is cheap, it gets 1 overall rating. But it is still drinkable and I actually drank the can in about 5 minutes becasuse it tastes like water and I want a better one.

From Cash Super Espartinas. In shaker glass. At dinner, 1L shared with Javi & Carmen. With spanish omelette + croquetas + pok cheese. Ive liked it more than the typical industrial. Mild. Quickly drinkable and cheap, without anything out of place. Mine was brewed by Font Salem
