33cl bottle from a local Asian shop. A watery pale straw appearance; unexpectedly fresh minty aroma; strong spearmint taste with a corn syrup body. Certainly better than expected.

I am nearly 61, why am I opening this bloody thing: it is not as if I need a French tick or anything. Anyway this clear 330ml bottle cost me £1.49 from a local Asian supermarket: my son said I’d like it! Poured into a ’La Chouffe’ badged stemmed tulip glass at home on 12 Nov 2014. I knew it was going to be pale golden because of the clear bottle, the billowing white head was a surprise though. Lime and mint aroma, just like the bottle claimed, hid the tequila though, if there was/is any. The taste mirrored the nose. I thought it quite refreshing and different to be honest, not as bad as I expected. Not really a cold winters night beer, but I almost enjoyed it.

Can. Golden coloured beer with a litte head. A lot of mint in the aroma and front of the palate.

330ml bottle from Tesco - Clear yellow straw body, bubbly white head. Nose is overwhelmingly like walking through a mint garden, very grassy, herby and minty. Taste is a sickly sweet mint and citrus. As far as beer goes, it is a novelty. Sad thing is I have two more bottles to kill.

Bottle at home; light straw yellow pour with thin bubbly white head, lime and mint aroma, taste has overwhelming fake mint and lime, with a hint of ginger with grassy background.

Canned 500ml. -from Geant Albertville. Last few beers goes from better to best (or maybe not!). Yellow coloured, medium sized airy white head that went away fast, perfumed lime and some cactus in the nose. Sweetness dominates here; some notes of lime and that’s it. Usual Desperados.
