Thanks to Happiness is Portuguese Made for these tins. 

OVERALL:
A faint tomato aroma upon opening. Four plump, tightly packed fish to the tin. A mild tomato sauce flavor hits you on the first bite, a flavorful sauce. A nice textured fish, the fish, holds their shape well while removing from tin. Not a spiny fish, no strong taste or after. A clean-tasting fish with good flavor. I consumed the entire tin without even bringing out any crackers. I would and will eat again. 5 sardines.

OVERALL:
I'm met with a very faint olive Oil aroma upon opening. Five meaty fish to the tin. A mild tasting fish, Olive oil leaves no strong after taste, nor are there any fish after taste. A good even texture throughout the fish, no soft spots. Not a spiny fish.
I've tasted this tin before... Then it hit me, this tin is my childhood! This tin of fish tastes exactly the same as the sardines I used to eat with my father as a boy. I would eat again. 5 sardines.

PRICE:
Thanks to Happiness is Portuguese Made for these tins. 

OVERALL:
A nice subtle peppery aroma upon opening. Six medium-sized fish to the tin, a beautiful amber hue to the oil. A medium textured fish, a faint flavor of clove makes itself known, spice is the second row that slowly creeps up, not overpowering the blend of flavors this tin possess. An extremely clean-tasting fish and oil. The flavors of this tin are superb. If you eat crackers or the sorts with this tin, you are doing an injustice to the fish. The tin leaves me craving more. I will eat again. 5 sardines.

OVERALL:
 My craving for another tin was met with this tin. Being labeled the same with identical ingredients, I was expecting an identical experience. This tin is more shallow than the one before it, with smaller-sized fish. Six small fish to the tin, spice heat does not take the 2nd row to this tin. A nice heat hits you on the first bite, followed by the balance of flavors the tin possesses. Another tin of great-tasting fish as above. This tin is my favorite to date, mouth orgasm. Not a spiny fish, a great textured fish, no after taste present; just an even spice after the tone. A great tin of fish. This must be what happy Sardines taste like. 5 strong sardines!
