Madri Zero Review
When I first tried Madrí Excepcional 0.0, I was drawn in by its crisp appearance and the promise of a refreshing lager experience. Poured into a glass, it showcases a pale golden color with lively carbonation and a light white head, which sets the stage for what I hoped would be a delightful drinking experience. However, the aroma was rather light, offering only gentle hints of cereal malt and sweetness, lacking the pronounced hop notes that often define a well-crafted lager.
On the palate, Madrí Excepcional presents itself as smooth and easy to drink, but this is where the disappointment begins to surface. The malt sweetness is front and center, overshadowing any bitterness and resulting in a thin body that fails to provide the satisfying finish of a true lager. I found it drinkable when served very cold, especially if I was simply looking for a light 0.0% beer to quench my thirst, but it didn’t have the depth or bite that would make it truly enjoyable.
This beer is marketed as a crisp and refreshing option, and while it does have some redeeming qualities, I felt it fell short compared to better alcohol-free lagers on the market. It’s widely available in UK supermarkets and offers low calories, making it a convenient choice, yet I would rank it lower in terms of flavor and overall drinkability compared to other options I’ve tried.
In summary, while Madrí Excepcional 0.0 looks the part and has its moments of refreshment, it lacks the complexity and balance that one might hope for from a lager. It’s not a terrible alcohol-free beer, but with so many other excellent alternatives available, it’s hard to recommend it over stronger contenders.
