Can. Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Slightly thin and dry malts, a little thin and dry creamy sweetness. Light pine into reasonable limey spice and lime peel. Light dry finish. Certainly tequila and nicely so, lacks a solid malt base on which the barrelling should build. Good but coulda woulda shoulda..

Pours to a straw yellow, cloudy, slightly murky. Nose is lime mixed with oakiness. After reading the tin I can detect the mint behind those 2 but wasn't expecting it. Fast dissipating head. High bruty carbonation but fitting. Lime on the tongue, bitter in the middle. Oaky after. Only the lingering minty alcohol betrays it's strength. The oakiness could have been balanced with a bit more malt or sugar, but I like it. Interesting beer.

Clear golden colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a boozy note from the tequila. Dry, alcoholic and a little spiceness too.

Can, thanks Fin! Hazy golden with nanofloaties, offwhite cream. Smoked salt, lime, leaf - agave-like? Medium to full, mellow, light sticky mouthfeel, fine sparkles. Fruity sweet melon/grape-like, agave, limeskin, somewhat boozy in a windex sort of way. Certainly breaks the mold.

Can. Unclear golden color with white head. Aroma is zezty, indeed some mint, also white sugar, esters, agave really? The aroma is quite fresh, not cloying or anything. Taste is high booze, spicy yeast, zome zestiness and mintiness again. High carbonation. Pretty good, the lime & mint does give it a nice freshness for balance.

Tõesti laim ja münt on maitses ja lõhnas, suht herbaalne ja linnaseline, belgia pärm, alks. Tekiilat ei saa. Veider kraam.

Ruikt naar vers gezaagd hout. Smaakt naar stim-u-dent tandenstokers. Veel munt.

Can picked up from De Bierliefhebber webshop, Elsen, Netherlands and consumed at home Saturday 13th March 2021. We had Pork Rendang and Indonesian Spring Rolls with a Nasi Goreng Rice, this weekend it is our Netherlands theme weekend. Listening to @timstwitterlisteningparty.com tonight it is Echo and the Bunnymen - Heaven up Here.. Pours hazy warm gold colour with a white head. Some lime on the nose and picked up in the mouth, along with the mint and a little boozy edge from the tequila. Yep this is weird, it does exactly what it says but make no mistake its bonkers.
