Aroma 5. Appearance 4. Taste 3. Taste 2. Overall 9. Lime and sweet aroma. Taste is quite similar, more a soda than a beer.

Barwa złota, klarowne, piana biała, średnio obfita, średnio trwała. W aromacie tequila, kwasek cytrynowy. W smaku dosyć słodkie, kwasek cytrynowy, tequila, mięta. Wysycenie średnie, ciało nieco zbyt słodkie. Nuda.

Bottle from local garage. Always avoided this one but thought I'll try something different. Brewed in Amsterdam. Pale gold, and small fizzy white head, with little retention and no lacing. Tequila and lime aroma and taste which is reasonably balanced. However, the artificial sweetener is unpleasant and where is the actual beer? I've had worse but that's the best I can say.

Clear gold. Dense snow white head. Beautiful lacing. Aroma: malt, lime, a hint of tequila. Light to medium body. Average carbonation. Taste: grain, bread, sugary lime, faint tequila. Low to light bitterness. Inoffensive stuff. Still, not going to have it again some time.

Lemony, bit artificial aroma. Lemon and tequila in the soapy flavor. Yagh!..

Bottle sampled at home, thanks to the Mill family for leaving me a 9 bottle pack of this (send me a pm if you want one - free for pickup). The gesture was nice. Clear glass bottles always get me super excited. Tequila too and if you combine it with a mass produced lager what could possibly go wrong? Offcourse I’m drinking this straight from the bottle. Who needs dirty dishes when the bottle is clear? Sweet malty lager with muchos de lime and aloe vera, anise and cactus stuff. Sweet, candy like, with raw boozy and sour edges and a sickly cardboardy finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Funny it almost makes me puke, same effect as tequila! --- Beer merged from original tick of Desperados on 20 Aug 2019 at 15:10 - Score: 3
