Description
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. A clear, quite pale golden body with minimal white head on top. Malty, grainy nose with some banana-like fruityness. Freshly mown grass and notes of apricot and banana in the flavor, but very low on bitterness. Thin and watery. Considering it’s a discount beer, I’m not disappointed. Not a beer to return to though.

Bottle, thx to tarjei. It pours a clear golden body witha a small white head. Malty sweet aroma with something reminiscent of alcohol, but at 4.5% ABV I doubt it’s that. Some fruity notes in the background. Thin in the mouth, and quite fizzy, with fruits, malt and sweetness, as well as a little hoppyness saving the day. Sticky, fruity and surprisingly hoppy finish with a low bitterness, and the same alcohol-like thing found in the aroma. I guess it sort of does the job in a hot Spanish city, but it’s truly forgettable, bland and boring. (080514)
