2.6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 2 Flavor 2 Texture 4 Overall 2.5
440ml can. Light clear amber, small white head, thin retention. Aroma of malts and cardboard, maybe a light fruit in the background. Taste is malty, stale, a small amount of red fruit concentrate - I cant even tell its strawberry. Light to moderate body, slightly cloying. At £1.59 its easy to say you get what you pay for but this works out at more per beer than the £4 for £6 offers you can get in certain supermarkets for an actual decent beer. Its absolute rubbish. I feel ashamed adding this to the database and I've got 3 other new Hop Foundry ones to try - oh dear god.

Light clear amber, small white head, decent retention. Aroma of cheap malts, stale hops, metal, additives. Taste is as bad as it smells with a real abrasive bitter hop and the grapefruit flavouring probably never came from the fruit as it tastes almost synthetic like. Cloying mouthfeel. Awful but marginally better then the strawberry lager.

440ml can. Dark clear amber, small white head. Aroma is very malty with bread, caramel, sweetness, confectionary. Taste is malty, toffee, bitter orange. There is something synthetic about this beer, almost like no actual hops were used but rather some sort of extract. I could be wrong. Medium body. Its a bad beer but better than the strawberry lager and grapefruit pale from the latest batch.

500ml bottle. Very pale clear straw colour, small white bubbly head. Aroma is floral and berries as expected, some tangy apples, touch of funk. Taste is tart gooseberry and aromatic elderflower competing equally for attention, background dry apples. Light to medium bodied with a cloying oiliness but combined with good flavours its ok. Quite nice.

440ml can. Black with a moderate sized tanned head, nice lacing and retention Aroma is vanilla, roasted malts, lactose, oddly fruity. Taste is roasted malts, vanilla, lactose, slightly soapy, chocolate, mild coffee dry bitterness. Light to moderate bodied, good carbonation. Not too bad, I quite enjoyed it surprisingly.

500ml bottle. Clear pink pour, some bubbles scattered on top and a slow moving carbonation, looks a bit lifeless. Big tangy stewed rhubarb aroma, some background ginger, not getting any apples. In taste, a fruity tangy rhubarb is evident, more mellow apples then combine before the heat of the ginger spice gives it a nice punchy kick. Quite sweet throughout. Light body, oily mouthfeel, moderate carbonation zing. For a supermarket cider this is actually quite good.

440ml can. Light cloudy pale-gold, brief fizzy head, circular bubbly retention; looks a bit pale and lifeless. Not much aroma, faint bittersweet apples. Taste is also a little thin but has a nice bittersweet mellow apple note, semi-dry. Nice mouthfeel being light to medium bodied, oily yet refreshing with a zingy carbonation that manages to push the limited flavour around the palate. Its ok for a cheap 4 pack of cider at around 70p a can, very drinkable and no real harsh notes.

500ml bottle. Another copycat lager and hardly very Spanish if its brewed in Italy! Pours clear gold, small white head, nice retention. Standard aroma of pale malts, grass and metal hops. Taste is malty, crackers, grassy, slight floral hop in finish, light bodied but not thin, light oily, moderate carbonation. A bit dull but its fine, no real off-notes.

440ml can. Light clear pink, moderate carbonation, no bubbly head. Aroma of rose apples, sweet, sulphites, pleasant but not fresh. Taste has a nice floral apple, sweet with a light drying close but a syrupy cloying mouthfeel. This despite a nice carbonation which pushes the flavours around the palate without being overly aggressive. Mixed but at around 70p a can its decent value.
