Pours a thin white head on top of a golden body. Doesn’t taste too bad, almost like shandy. I’d call it a summer drink, a tequila drink, a thirst-quencher, an interesting tequilera.

A lot of citrus and tequila on the flavour. Not really a beer, but a kind of soda or refresh.

Bottle with a slice of lime on top. Appearance: clear blonde beer, no idea about the foam, I drank from a friends bottle. Nose: well, lots of lime, since there was a slice of it on top, little acidity, some grains even, but the tequilla comes in as well. Taste: well, I was glad I didn’t have to finish this beer, it’s absolutely awful! I was able to drink from the bottle of a friend at a bar where you could buy a regular Duvel for 1,5 euros, and this ’beer’ was 2,5 euros. I can’t imagine why anybody would buy it, especially when it’s way more expensive than a regular decent pilsener or a nice ’Duvel’. And why the tequila? Why would you want to add a distilled beverage that you normally can’t drink without first getting some salt in your mouth? Not really a good idea... Anyway, not a beer worth buying and not worth drinking, not even with a slice of lime on top.

Looks uninviting and smells somewhat like sugar and sour candy. Taste lacks beer. There is some lime and sweetness, but no malts hops hopbitterness or yeast. If it was a blindtest, I think I might have thought it was a tequila lime sugar sparkling water cocktail of some sorts. Two positive things: dry mouthfeel and lime make a great thirstquencher.

33cl bottle at home. Clear golden. Hints of citrus and artificial tequila. Nice at a hot summer evening.

Bericht yellow chemical looks. Sweetened pilsener smell. Taste of light beer with sweet alcohol and fresh lemon taste. Great for thursty summer evenings.

330ml bottle. Pale yellow gold colour, fizzy white head which dissipates away and aroma of lemonade & lime, corn. Taste is abit metallic, lemon-lime & artificial tequila flavouring, with a biscuity corn undernote and lingering light tangy bitterness. Fizzy thin mouthfeel, light bodied, dry finish. Really bland stuff.

(Bottle): Pours clear golden colour, no head. Corny, lemony aroma with a strong presence of tequila. Very similar in taste. Bloody awful to be honest.

0,33l bottle. Golden color. Aroma is some corn and lemon. Taste is also corn, lemon and some tequila. Medium bitterness. It is too artificial. Very bad beer, i don’t like it and won’t try it again.

Totally clear, very light golden body. Smells like lemon, cheap liquor, soap and sweet candy. Not totally bad, but not beer like either. Taste is more artificial. Light bitterness, lemon sweets, what I think is supposed to be tequila. Admittedly it’s refreshing and better than your average soda, but that’s all positive I can say about it. Ah well. Tick. (65cl bottle from Auchan in Tours)
