Should not be poured at all but contains a nice golden color. I drank this with a slize of lemon and it resulted in a nice summer beer. I’ve had beers with a better aroma of tequila in it but this one isn’t bad. Nice refresher.

UPDATED: AUG 28, 2011 Botella de 330ml servida en copa Lager.¿Saboreada? en 1997.Brota con color dorado brillante.Transparente.Corona blanca y burbujas amplias.Sorprendente retención y amplia capa de encaje.En nariz, cítricos y notas de alcohol.Dulce al primer sorbo, despliega un sabor meloso y de jarabe.Un refresco alcoholico.Sin embargo no se trata de un cocktail; más bien sabores y aromas artificiales.No refrescante en absoluto.Cuerpo lígero,carbonatación media.¿Asimilación?, una bebida para olvidar y evitar.Incluso si te gusta el Tequila y/o la cerveza no pruebes esto.330ml bottle served into a Lager glass.Enjoyed?? in 1997. Pours bright gold in color.Clear appearance.White crown & large bubbles.Surprising retention.Thick lacing too.On nose, citrics & hues of alcohol.Sweet at first sip develops a honey/sirupy tasting.A real alcoholic soda pop.Well, this is not a cocktail at all but artificial flavors & aromas indeed.Not refreshing at all.Light body,medium carbonation.Drinkability?? just a beverage to forget & avoid.Even if you like Tequila and/or beer, you must´n try this.

Bottle. Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma is ginger ale and lime. Sour/sweet taste of ginger ale, lime and tequila. Light body, refreshing. A bit to sweet.

Originally rated September 2006. Bought at the SAQ in Hull, Quebec and is my first Fischer brew. Came in a three pack and bottles are clear with the painted logo on it. The beer is golden in colour with a nice creamy white head that has good retention and leaves great lacing. Carbonation is pretty low. The nose is very lemony, just like lemon gin. Watery mouthfeel with a little sticky touch. Again, the lemon starts the taste and then goes mild with sweetness. A bit of lime smooth out the aftertaste. I enjoyed this beer, just like other French beer mixed with alcohol, like both XO brews.

I don’t think it’s as bad as some raters make it sound. To me it’s a decent refreshing lager that taste a little like lime. Easy drinkable. Nothing special, but decent on a hot day.

Kind of artificial taste. The tequila flavour is pretty well hidden, and doesn’t even fit too well. But in general a nice beer with a light and fresh taste.

330ml bottle. Not much love for Desperados here.... No, it wasn’t great, but it was a neat idea done about as well as it could have been. The tequila flavour went reasonably well with a Mexican style beer and lime goes with both. Seems very intuitive. Overall, an interesting novelty.

A golden coloured beer with a white head. Artificial tequilla aroma, very sweet taste.
