Die Schaumkrone hält mittelmäßig. Geschmacklich ist es süß-Tequila, ok für ein Partygetränk! Etwas wässrig, im Nachgeschmack leicht herb. Schön Erfrischend, besser als das normale Desperados. Test vom 26.9.2009, Gebinde: Dose Noten: 9,10,9,9,10,9 - 9,20

33cl bottle from a local supermarket. It pours a clear light golden liquid with a small white head that dissipates and leaves no lacing. It looks too static. The aroma is artificial, with syrupy citron (lime and lemon) and a little booze. The flavour is fruity with hints of tequila; boozier than other similar beers, but not too much. It is very sweet, with lively soda-like carbonation and a thin body. It ends sweet and very slightly dry. Presentation is adequate for the kind of beer. Not beery enough for me; it feels like a soda. Refreshing, though.

UPDATED: APR 10, 2011 Cannette 50cl. Hmm bon, oui, encore une bière française qui surfe sur la vague des Desperados et c’est à peut prêt là tout ce qui sauve cette dernière de tomber dans les abîmes des bières qui sont à oublier. Couleur dorée claire, mousse blanche. Arôme à ce côté sucre agave et de citronnelle de la tequila sauf que le, on est en présence d’extrait et autres arômes industriels. Le palais est similaire, une horrible lager que seul l’ajout de cet aspect tequila et citronné sauve de la médiocrité. Fini citrique avec un léger malt et ce côté sucré.

Bottle, courtesy of Pinball. A clear, pale golden beer with a small, white head. Lemony, slightly boozy and buttery nose with some caramel. Caramel flavor with some notes of alcohol, quite fruity, but not very tasteful. Thin on the palate. A rather boring one, and not much good either. 100814

Pale golden with a small white head. Sweet caramel and limonade aroma. Cloying sweet limonade and alcohol flavour with a touch of tequila

Bottle @ Danish Summer Gathering, 2010. Pours clear yellow with a off white foam. Lemon, lime and schweppes. Sticky, thin and watery.
