Zomers volgouden pilsener, gebrouwen volgens de Mexicaanse stijl. Goed doordrinkbaar en verfrissend bier met een friszoete bite van tequila en citrusfruit in de afdronk.

Three years ago in the UK this beer was everywhere I went, now it randomly turns up in a bottle shop in Brighton-Le Sands, NSW! 330 ml bottle into schooner glass. Crystal clear amber beer with thin solid head. High carbonation, smells of good lime cordial (think Bickford's or Rose's). Tastes like an old-fashioned lager and lime. Finish is drying and full of lime. Really easy drinking (5.9%!) and no sign of Tequila.

Found this at a little local’s bar in Havana. Pale, bland with very light, marginal bitterness, and not much else. Serve near frozen, right.

Al naso e poi alla lingua giungono sentori più di tequila che di birra. L’intensità olfattiva è elevata e la persistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma è a rapida dispersione con bollicine medie come pure media è la carbonazione. La sottostante frizzantezza è a bollicine grandi ma poche. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. L’amaro è deciso, con un corpo medio. L’intensità gustativa è elevata e la persistenza gustativa buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali inducono a bevuta compulsiva e ci si sente confortati. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Claro Tequila Flavoured on 11 Jul 2015 at 12:55 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 3.5. Original review text: Schiuma con bolle medie a rapida sparizione. Colore giallo chiaro. Intensità olfattiva tenue, di granturco. Persistenza olfattiva corta. Frizzantezza scarsa, ma attiva e persistente. Corpo leggero. Persistenza gustativa sufficiente. Intensità gustativa leggera. Birra chiara, piuttosto amarognola e dal finale luppolato. Nonostante l’origine, il look della bottiglia è decisamente messicano: questa grafia è anche una garanzia di sapore delicato e livido. Produzione europea. Bottiglia serigrafata.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Plus, Culemborg. Drank from the bottle but it’s dark yellow with a very thin white head. Sweet grainy aroma with some artificial tequila. Your basic Desperados clone. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Claro Tequila Flavoured on 27 Jul 2014 at 15:29 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 4 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 3. Original review text: 33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ the local Coop supermarket. Pale yellow with a very thin white head. Like other raters mentioned this is just a cheap Corona clone which means a boring watery pale lager.

Bottle. Golden color. Aroma of grain and malt. Taste is quite sweet and fresh, with sugar, lime, malt and grain. Way too sweet, but I expected a lot worse.

Bottle @ home. Clear straw pale golden color, virtually no head. Smells and tastes like intended I guess: an artificially flavored sweetish light summer beer. Low body and carbonation. Oh well, on a hot summer day it probably isn’t all that bad.

Bottle at the "couldn’t be arsed to do anything else on a Wednesday tasting @ ABC Beers". Poured a straw colour. The flavour is light sweet with a watery, citrus mineral yeast palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Rather like a weak shandy! Pretty awful really.

Bottle shared. Pours clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma of grain and not much else. Touch of malt perhaps. Flavour is light sweet and bitter. Light bodied with high carbonation.

Bottle 330ml (from Prisma)
Clear golden color, vanishing head. Skunky corn aroma. Sweetish lemonade-corn flavor, harsh "skunky" grassy hops with low bitterness. Awkward maize beer.
