From local corner shop. This is a clearly a Desperados clone, and it’s just as ugly. A sweet, lemon hinted pale lager with chemical flavouring. Not that nice, but drinkable, and there are worse beers out there.

Bottled King Billy Northampton. An orange/gold headless beer. Sweet and tequila accented. Orangey fruity flavours. So much nicer than Desperados. Actually acceptable.

Bottle at the Cape Town Festival of Beer 2011. (as Amigos Tequila Flavoured Beer) A clear light yellow colour with a small, good lacing white head. An aroma of apple and citrus. The taste is heavy sweet. A thin body, sticky texture, fizzy carbonation and a short duration. Not my kind of beer.

UPDATED: OCT 28, 2011 33cl bottle picked up in Hastings. Straw coloured with a billowing white head; aroma of tequila and lime; full-bodied with a reasonable tequila flavour and a dry limey citrus tang; but lacking finish. Not bad, and better than Desperados.

Smell of lime with a hint of Tequila, some malt. Pours a medium gold with a white head that stays. Medium carbonation and light body. Taste of citrus - tequila, vegetable and cardboard. I bought it as a chaser and its meant for light drinking while partying. It is drinkable and has a light feel for 6% but I would prefer to never drink it again.

330ml bottle. Pours light gold with a large, frothy head. Aroma is corn with a little lime. Taste is lime cordial throughout.

Drank this from a bottle, clear bottle pale in colour, taste is very sweet with some citrus flavours, couldn’t taste the tequila and I was surprised about how strong this beer is

UPDATED: JUN 18, 2011 ’Intended for 18-24 year-olds with a fun-loving personality’. Well, I’m older than 24 and a miserable cunt, so I’m unlikely to fully appreciate this. Smell of lime and something you’d squirt down the toilet. Forms a head that stays there. Bright and inoffensive; lime and tequlia beating off the toilet cleaner and chemicals with a stick. One pine needle. Clear bottle, Bacardi Breezer with an added squeeze of lime, 6% alcohol. Nothing to do with beer, but it’s alright.

Bottle 330ml. clear glass.
Clear medium to dark yellow color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, fully diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, citrus - tequila, vegetable and cardboard notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet with a long to average duration, spicy. Body is medium, texture is oily - syrupy and sticky, carbonation is soft. [20100116]

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear golden with a white head. Aroma dominated by lime. Medium body, sweet lemon accents with a quinine-like astringent bitterness. 160110
