Gefunden in einem tschechischen Supermarkt und offenbar gebraut in der slowakischen Heineken-Brauerei von Zlatý Bažant in Hurbanovo (alternativ kann es auch aus der Soproni-Brauerei kommen). Es ist ein rosaroter Schapsradler mit ordentlich Süße und ordentlich Alk. Als Partydrink à la Alkopop gut geeignet, aber wirklich aromatisch ist es nicht.

Pours a red color. Bad taste but for sure it has a lot lf sugar and additives, not a real beer.

can @ aldi (budapest) pinky red colour, normal body, average carbonated, pinky head, sweety, tequila taste, sugar, orange, grape, citrus, bit acidic, but overall rather a simply fizzy drink than a fruit beer

0.5 can. Red wine spritzer look, minimal foam. Fruit wine, fruity aromatic scent. Taste a little bit like Sangria, a little bit like Tequila. Soft drink feel, alcoholic finish. I wouldn't call it beer. At the same time, it wasn't that bad.

Vörösboros fröccsös kinézet, minimál habbal. Gyümölcsboros, gyümölcs aromás illat. Íze picit Sangriás, picit Tequilás. Üdítőitalos érzet, alkoholos lecsengés. Sörnek annyira nem nevezném. Ugyanakkor mégsem volt annyira vészes.

Bottle. Ruby red, white head. Oranges, grapes in surprisingly good aroma. taste, tequilla, grapes, oranges, zest, hibiscus. Everything in artificial way. Astringent finish. Bad.

One of a string of variations on the infernal Desperados theme (tequila-flavoured industrial pale lager), with added orange, 'spice' (whatever that is) and grape aromas as well as artificial aromas of 'hibiscus' (roselle) and black carrot (a dark carrot variety grown in large parts of Asia and containing beneficial antioxidants). A far-fetched jumble of herbal and fruit elements because those are popular these days, but I don't suppose it matters that much in this case, as probably none of these plant materials ever even came close to this beer in a natural, physical sense... Colourless longneck bottle from a Delhaize supermarket, with somewhat different label than shown here, but it's the same product alright. Irregularly but tightly paper-lacing, medium thick, very mousy, pale off-pinkish white, opening head on a cristal clear, bright ruby red beer with fuchsia tinge. Extremely artificial, sweet-herbal, strong but simple aroma of bath foam and indeed hibiscus but as in hibiscus-scented bath soak, deo pearls for cat litter boxes or something alike, orange-scented soap, hints of iron shavings, boiled corn water, grape juice in a very industrial and sugary way, artificial lime aroma, tequila only in a very indirect and 'distorted', artificial way, even more so than in other Desperados variants. Obviously sweet onset, very white-sugary and annoyingly sticking to the teeth, light ascorbic-sourish undercurrent (lemonade-like) but much weaker than the sweetness, quite restrained in carbonation (softer than expected), thin and slick corn effect with no maltiness to speak of, running underneath a truckload of sweet, extremely artificial aromas, indeed reminiscent of hibiscus, grape and orange, but in a completely industrial way, not even remotely feeling natural in any way. I have no idea where (or how) to look for the black carrots, but the tequila element is certainly there, in the same disturbingly artificial, chemical way as in the regular version, lending a weird medicine-like bitterness to the finish, as a vague echo amidst the sugary sweet and utterly perfumey and bath-foamy flavourings. Hops are notably absent (even if a pinch of hop extract went in here) and so do the malts (this is mostly corn 'watered' down with glucose syrup) - in other words, this drink has nothing even remotely reminiscent of beer even in the widest sense of the word. Weird kind of fancy lemonade with an extremely bath foam- and soap-like character - if I were presented with this blind, I would not even consider it fit for consumption, but would rather associate it with cosmetics or personal hygiene. The sugar sticks to the teeth - and to think I'm already suffering from a toothache - and the chemical tequila element, the running gag in this Desperados series, make things only worse. It's funny how Heineken apparently considers this kind of thing commercially viable - and yet, there must be people around who buy this, otherwise it wouldn't feature on the shelves of a large supermarket chain. Who are these people? Youth looking for sweetened booze, I suppose - a generation lost for eternity. Damn them, and damn this kind of infernal 'non-beers', this is even worse than those awful Radlers you see everywhere nowadays. I wonder why I keep bothering...
