We were born in 1996,

Born as the first beer with spirits.

Can. Strong mint, not much lime, weird. But probably less awful than the regular version.

Clear 400ml bottle from a local Polish store and drank at Auntie Sue’s on 26th June 2026. Lime green body and lime like nose and taste. Interesting and refreshing but not really for me.

330 ml clear bottle, as Desperados Tropical Beer, from Dutchshopper. ABV is 5.9%. Clear and very pale golden colour, large white head. Strong aroma of artificial essences, lime and tropical fruits. Medium sweet and artificial flavour with the same elements, a slight bitterness in the finish.

Getrunken als "Desperados Tropical Daiquiri". Also mit Bier hat das nix zu tun - so absolut überhaupt nix. Exotische Fruchtlimonade mit einem Hauch von Geschmack und Mundgefühl wie ich es von belgischen Bieren mit viel Koriander kenne. Sehr süß. Bitterer Nachgeschmack. Obwohl ich das Zeug nahe der Gefriergrenze runtergekühlt habe, sind die ersten Schlucke ziemlich widerlich. Man gewohnt sich langsam und es wird mit jedem Schluck etwas trinkbarer. Trotzdem - das ist bis jetzt das Schrecklichste was ich unter dem Desperados-Label trinken musste.

Bottle in St Martin: pours bright red with pink head. Aroma is artificial fruitiness, agave covering a very lousy lager. Taste is sweet and fruity. I think I liked the tropical more.

Le Petit Casino: pours a weirdish light orange color. Aroma is basically passionfruit and citrus. Overly sweet, but weirdly not terrible. Drinkable for what it is.
