Bottle at kulminator. Self hatred in a bottle ! Pours clear blonde' decent white head with medium low stability. Smell is grassy, skunked ( clear glass..) chemical. Oxidation is surprisinlgy mild. Taste is sweet, sugar, madeira, paper, oxidation, stevia like sweetness thzt feels very chemical and unpleasant. Dusty. Loads of chemical features. Very unenjoyable.

Bottle at Kulminator. Clear golden liquid with medium white head. Aroma of tequila, corn, bread, grain and lemon. Taste is light to medium sweet and very light bitter with notes of tequila, corn and grain. Medium bodied with low to medium carbonation. Ugh.

Small sample (I didn’t dare more) from 330 ml. @ Kulminator. Clear bottle. Golden clear liquid with solid white head. Vintage is godforsaken. Smell is extremely sweet chemical, lemon, chemical candy sweetness, oxidation, okay compared to taste. Nasty old degrading taste of off-putting chemical, sweeteners, rotting oxidation, chemical fading Tequila,… Light bodied. Off-putting & past it (not that it was probably any good to begin with). I’m starting to develop a personal disliking towards Tequila-flavoured pale lagers.

The follow-up to Cubana ’59, another trendy revolution beer, with pale golden colour and sweetish aroma with sickly tequila extract and artificial fruit lemonade smell. Thin, sweet, metallic, a very bland lager further ruined with an awfully artificial and almost chemical taste - I cannot express how much I hate this type of flavoured lagers. May well be the worst beer I ever had the displeasure to taste, along with is congener Desperados.

Pale golden colour, only slight fuzz for a head. Smells sweet, slight lemon. Reminds of the stuff I use to wash dishes. Flavour is rather sweet, somewhat lemony with some alcohol warmth. Rather pretty bottle, not good beer.
(From 33cL bottle)

33cl bottle. Very pale yellow with steady bubbles and some head. The nose is slightly sweet, grassy and lemony with some toffee on the end. The taste has lemon and malt and is quite shandy-ish. The palate is medium bodied, sweet but fairly fresh on the finish. Overall, this is a bit of a gimmick but it’s not that bad.

Bottled. Hazy dark yellow. Unpleasant artificial lemon washing up liquid with extra citric acid. Thin and sharp, sharp and decidedly undrinkable. I’d love to force feed the marketing director of S&N with this.

A pale orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is of tequila - I don’t like this in a beer. The flavor is sweet, dry and dominated of tequila before a dry lemony end sets in. I won’t go back to this one.
