Got this beer on the streets of France. Had an abrasively sweet taste of tequila and sugary malt. Definately an ugly bite to it. Really lacking any good flavour. Sweetness of the beer and the sugary mouth that it gives you makes the beer decidely unrefreshing. Tastes pretty unique, so I suppose I’ll give it a few for that.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Bad malty/citrus aroma. Strange lemon flavor, light bitter finish. Watery palate and lively carbonated. Strange brew, I think it should be a fruitbeer.

Canned(500ml). –Looks like beer and tastes like carbonated lime juice. Clear golden, fizzy white head, acidic lemon/lime nose. Slight sweet aroma of lime and lemon. Lower alcohol content than regular Desperados so much more enjoyable and refreshing.

Bottled. Very skunked horrible aroma when opening the bottle. Once poured into glass it’s mainly lemon and some slight hops in the nose. Colour is pale golden and the head is almost non-existant. Flavour is lemon and slight hints of hoppyness. I don’t find any tequila in this one.

Bottled. Clear, pale golden with a small white head. The aroma is reminiscent of dish-washing water and has lots of lemon in it. Lightly astringent with a dominant lemon-flavor. Thin bubbly body and a long, lemony finish. Blaargh!!! (060410)

Bottle. Golden colour, semi-stable white head. Artificial lime aroma, reminding me of radler. Sweet flavour, also quite close to radler. There is also some slightly unplesant alcohol flavour, more like vodka than tequila.

(Bottle 33 cl) The French have this thing about adding alcohol to their beer. I’ve had both a cognac-beer, an absinthe-beer, a Grand Marnier-beer but this tequila-beer was one of the first in this style - although not exactly anything to take much pride in. Pilsener golden with a creamy head that leaves a pretty lacework. The flavour? Well, tequilaish I reckon - but cloyingly sweet and artificial. No real pleasure. 220705
