What's happened here is this. The marketing people at Coors have decided they need a 'Mediterranean lager' to appeal to the easily duped sheep who are prey and do what they're told. Coors have an in-house 'craft' beer outfit called La Sagra that produces mediocre 'craft' beer. They got this brewer to oversee the development of this beer to appeal to an LCD clientele in the UK that likes Peroni, San Miguel etc who've been persuaded ( not difficult with these people) that this is the beer to be seen drinking and that they're dead cool following the herd. I've tried it and was totally underwhelmed. Understand that my go to brands are Titanic, Siren, Cloudwater, Vacation, Bristol Beer Factory, Southwark Brewery, Windsor and Eton. There are loads more and even more I've not discovered from so many countries. I'm not wasting my time drinking this trash. It's like clubbing. I'm not going to a Popworld. Proper underground gaffs are my go to places.

Agree with you absolutely about the finish. I had mine ice cold, so it was crisp and refreshing, but that didn't kill that excellent finish which is what makes this beer distinct. Would definitely buy this again.

I can understand why alot of people would think this beer is almost contriversal, because its obviously just a mass-poduced lager with huge marketing behind it. It really did almost appear out of nowhere. With that being said its an affordable decent lager (like you said) and its almost absolutely spot on for a big session. Easy drink and refeshing, im a big fan of the stuff

I went to the local ex service mans club to watch the Liverpool v Chelsea cup final, they had this on draft. Id never had it before and was surprised how nice it was. They had Stones bitter on draft too, didnt try that though lol. :) So 7 pint of Madri and watching Kepa balloon his penalty over, it was a good day :)

I heard Madri is the 1980s Carling recipe bk then Carling was also 4.6% volume so it kinda makes sense but not sure how true this is.

Thanks for another good review Paul. I first saw Madri about 6 months ago on draft in my local boozer in Leigh On Sea. As you say it's everywhere at the moment. For me, This beer can't beat the Top Tier Spanish beers of Red Mahou, Alhambra, Moritz or Estrella Glacia. I'd probably pitch this one around The CruzCampo/San Miguel/Estrella damm Level. Thanks again Guvn'r for another great review.

Cerveses La Pirata La Pirata Black Block Bourbon Barrel Aged from Cerveses La Pirata. That's a 'Top Tier Spanish' beer. It's an Imperial Stout and regarded as among the best beers being produced in Spain. These are the quality beers, not Red Mahou, Alhambra etc. But then this beer and this style of beer is going to be way beyond the ability of fans of Madri Lager to appreciate.

You don't know what a top lager is. Budvar, Brooklyn Lager not to mention some great British lagers such as Schiehallion and Rebellion Pilsener are far superior to this hyped up rubbish. If I'm gonna drink I want something interesting. Madri is an adman's creation pure and simple.

@@jonbutterfield1956 I can tell you, being well acquainted with Czechia's amazing beer culture, that Madri Lager would not be drunk by Czechs. It's a piss poor imitation of their stand up pilseners. That you prefer this and are seduced by the marketing men says everything about you and your taste or lack thereof. I generally prefer various types of ale to lager. Nonetheless I appreciate a fine lager. Anyone who appreciates a fine lager appreciates a good ale too. I bet you're a 'i don't drink ale. Can't stand the stuff' merchant. I tend to avoid such people.

As good as this may or may not be it represents everything I hate about the brewing industry in the UK. It's dressed up to look like a Spanish beer, the label has "El alma de Madrid" on it and the box of 12 bottles even has one side written in Spanish but if you look at the bottom on the box or the small print on the bottle it says "brewed and packaged in the UK". It's fake just like all the other foreign beers cheaply brewed in the UK from Stella Artois to San Miguel etc.. It may be a Spanish recipe, it may be brewed with Spanish ingredients ("may") but it's not brewed by Spaniards with Spanish water and Spanish expertise. It's just another macro brewery knock-off pretending to be something it isn't. Why would they even pretend if the real thing wasn't better? I refuse to support their duplicity so I won't be buying it but next time I'm in Spain I'll give it a try.
@peterm89692 жыл бұрын
I'm sympathetic to your views Erik and agree I wont buy this for home consumption. But in my local when its hot and I want a lager I have to choose from these options: Stella, Kronenbourg, Birra Moretti, Carling, Fosters or Madri - all UK brewed. In that situation Madri actually is a good choice. But I still agree with you there are much better UK brewed lagers out there for home drinking like Camden Hells, Purity Helles, St Austell Korev, Black Sheep 54 Degrees North or Sam Smiths Natural Organic Lager to name a few.
