Fles op vakantie geprobeerd, Het is een goudkleurig bier met een dunne witte schuimkraag. Het aroma is moutig en alcoholachtig. De smaak is zoet met tonen van tequila en mout met een droge afdronk.

Lemon and tequila in aroma and flavor. Sweet, alcoholic and hardly drinkable.

Bottle from the Albert Heijn supermarket in Sint-Niklaas, where it was sitting next to Corona. Gusher - the first time ever I see this in a pale lager - with foam running out of the bottle, as if happy to be released. After pouring, it leaves a thinnish, off-white, regular ring around the glass and some small islands of foam in the middle, atop a cristal clear, straw blonde beer with bits of sparkling here and there. Aroma of brown paper bags, wet cardboard, dry chicken corn, straw, dried out old white bread of industrial making but also an unexpected touch of freshly baked white bread, burnt rubber, industrial apple juice, flour. Sweetish graininess in the onset, very neutral in its core but with the sweetness accentuated by added sugar - though, unexpectedly, not in a very cloying, lemonade-like way; some sugared lime juice aspects do linger, though. Fizzy, minerally carb, thin and slick mouthfeel; grainy and cereally middle with a certain 'corniness' but also a light breadiness to it, sweetened but in a subtle way, leading to a watery, thin finish with retronasal artificial tequila and lime notes as promised, but in a very subtle, background kind of way; especially the lime effect lingers in the end with a weirdly dryish effect to it, and I did not, for all clarity, shove a wedge of lime into the bottle neck. No true hop bitterness worth mentioning. Clearly an attempt at rivalling that infamous Desperados, but, even if clearly artificially flavored, far less sugary and off-putting; I will always fail to understand why insults to the ancient art of brewing like this still enjoy a considerable amount of popularity (especially among French youth) but given that fact, I can understand that Goudale, responsible for other bad lagers, gave it a shot and tried to connect with this trend. Their interpretation of what is probably the worst substyle in the whole beer world, is nevertheless - and contrary to my expectations - somehow less off-putting and a bit more 'beery' than Desperados (the trend setter) or its equally dreary imitations (Cubanisto etc.). Within this specific category, the one I hate the most of all beer style variants, this is far from the worst. Will obviously never buy it again, though, but for a mere 0.58 euros it was worth the tick, I suppose.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Albert Heijn Culemborg. Very pale yellow with a thin white head. Faint grainy aroma, weak taste. Another Corona clone.

33cl Bottle, thanks Alwine! French Corona. As Bière Tequieros, brewed at Brasserie Goudale, at 4.6%. No mention of tequila and lime additions, so clearly a different beer, but it's aliased anyway. Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma of lime, lemon, light malty. Flavour is likewise, light and refreshing. Light bodied. Good on a hot day like this. Not the same as Gayant Tequieros.
