Clear reddish amber with a medium off white head. Sweet and fruity aroma. Sweet and artificial fruity flavour. Finished sweet.

Das Getränk sieht chemisch rot aus, und die Schaumkrone hält mittelmäßig lange. Geschmacklich wirkt es für mich ziemlich künstlich was an den Cachaca und Gurana liegen könnte. Dies ist sicherlich nichts was man als "Biertrinker" trinkt sondern auf jedenfall ein Partygetränk, dafür ist es allerdings ziemlich gut. Insgesamt ist es ziemlich Zitrusartig und zuckrig-bitter, den tequila schmeckt man ein bisschen herraus. Im Nachgeschmack ist es ein bisschen zuckrig und etwas herb. Fazit: Für ein Bier hätte es diese Noten bekommen : -/2/3/1/-/3, da es aber Erfrischend und auch nicht als richtiges Bier sondern als Partygetränk gedacht ist, gebe ich diese Noten. Es schmeckt um einiges besser als das normale Desperados! Test vom 26.9.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,10,9,10,10,9 - 9,35

Backlog Paris autumn 2011 Amber color, good foam Intense artificial aromas.. Wonder why I bought this one... It was as awful as suspected

Can (500ml):
Red to pink colour with a pretty thick looking, foamy white head.
Very sweet on the nose with lots of sugar, some citrus and touches of lemon along with lots of red berries. As you would expect, it is a fruity smelling beer and very similar to a summer fruits juice or fruit punch.
Sweet like the smell suggested and with some sugar and red grapes with some grenadine too. There is a bit of spice and a touch of citrus on top of that.
Smooth and very sweet with lots of sugar. The body is light but not quite thin and there is moderate to strong carbonation without the usual gas.

This one was a better than expected beer with a strange but different colour to it and tonnes of sweetness and sugar. It was artificially summary and sweet with a nice refreshing taste.

Bottle, 33 cl - Clear red beer with a small white head. Aroma is fruity with notes of strawberry, hay and some artificial berries. Flavor is fruity with notes of strawberry, corn and some tequila. Better than expected, but I would like to know how much beer they’ve actually added to this.

330 ml bottle in Dakar, Senegal. Pours a clear red-amber color with an off white head. Sweet and fruity aroma. Sweet and artificial fruity flavor. Palate is tart and sweet. Kind of need for a mixed drink but a terrible beer.

Can courtesy Sdr. Borup. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Red-yellow colour. Light malty and hoppy aroma. Light bitter flavor. Short light bitter finish. Watery palate. Bad stuff.

Can. Nice head with good duration. Color is orange. Aroma and taste are lime, guarana, fruits and malt.

Boîte 50 cl du Casino de Cannes-La Bocca (F). Ce qui vient d’abord à l’esprit, c’est .. limonade. Goût d’orange sanguine, relent de tequila et savon. Avec sucre, concentré de fruit, guarana, tequila, cachaça, acidifiant et antioxydant, on se demande s’il reste de la place pour la bière. Chef d’Oeuvre de la "grande consommation", cette mixture devrait à peine tenter de rivaliser avec les alcopops.

Can bought in Lattes France, consumed in La Grande Motte 2010-08-10 AR: redfizzy berries, when poured smell a bit like pink grape tonic AP: cherry red, high pink head that diminshing down to 0,5 cm F: sweet plesent beverage, grape tonic, sourness, apple, cherries Is this really beer?

Can 50cl. A reddish ale with a pink head ! Smell is sugary and syrupy. The first tastes are not bad with medium body but quickly some acid aroma is coming near Gini or Indian Schweppes soda that leads to an ugly feeling when arriving at the end of the can. Anyway a bit better that expected, small notes of hop at the finish but too much lemon acid in it, very alcoholic, not very drinkable.
