Font Salem is a Spanish company that markets its products both in Spain and in neighboring Portugal. Their strength is making beer, soft drinks and water for third parties. Their industry experience is over 25 years, as they have earned the trust of the major companies they work with (Mercadona, El Corte Inglés, Lidl, Eroski etc.). Grupo Damm acquired the company in several steps since 1999.

The company has three plants, two in Valencia and one in Portugal. The one in El Puig de Santa María, in Valencia, is dedicated to brewing beer, the second, in Salem, Valencia, makes soft drinks. The Santarém factory in Portugal produces both beer and soft drinks.

can from spar supermarket somewhere on mallorca. hazy yellow, smooth wite head. aroma of artificial lime and a little bit of rubber and malts.Compared to other recent supermarket radlers i have tasted, tis one is not so good. flavor is okay. lemony, white bready, malty, slight touch of bitter lemon in the end, proably hops helping out. no rubber in the flavor, but the radler has quite some white breadiness to it.

can from supermarket in el arenal, mallorca hazy yellow, white head. aroma of lemon juice, with quite acidic and a little herbal lemon flavor is lemon, faint old/cheap malts and old/cheap hops. Still, due to the quite sour lemony lemon flavor and the weak/pale/mild/boring beer, it actually works, could be a decent alternative to a kas lemon or a fanta lemon, probably also a lot cheaper.

orange, large beige head. aroma is a little bit fruity, like a belgian yeast based beer. flavor has caramel, malts, a tiny bit of dark dried fruits, good balance overall, the end is a bit caramelly and malty with a touch of dark dried fruits. almost a bit too sweet. the two covarian I have are both called cerveja not cerveza. and distributed by font salem, valencia. I wonder if they were in fact brewed in portugal? (since called cerveja not cerveza). both cans found on Tenerife.

clear yellow, smooth white head. very faint, but mild and well balanced aroma of a slightly sweet lager. flavor is mild, slightly malty, hoppy balance to match, somewhat crisp, but also a bit smooth at the same time. Pretty decent supermarket cheap lager, but don't expect much power on the flavor. It is quite light. Not watery though. my can stated distributed by Font Salem. Also the horse looks the other way than on the c-coviran from damm, i think they slightly rebranded and moved production to font salem.

Jan. 2022: 330 ml can, bought in Tenerife. ABV is 4.8%. Very pale golden colour, decent head. Weak aroma, some sweetish notes of maize (corn). Spritzy mouthfeel, moderately sweet, minimal hops. Thin. Typical run-of-the-mill contract brewed industrial lager.
