Kind of tasted like Chanel no. II but I still liked it. Maybe because of it’s smell...

Reminded me of the drink my great aunty would have, the chandy half beer half lemonade but in this case a touch of tequila thrown in. To be fair easily drinkable, didn’t make me choke or vomit on first taste and I was able to finnish it so it scored above a 1 otherwise won’t be going back to anytime soon.

Terribly obnoxious. To even think of mixing tequila in a beer must be a sign of insanity.

Clear amber, sizeable head; a harsh aroma of lime cordial and tequila; lime cordial is the predominant flavour too; sweet, chemical; a waft of tequila in the green wine gum finish; harsh, soapy mouthfeel; reminds me of the lager and limes my parents let me drink in the 80s - points for nostalgia but very litte else.

Geschmack: Zitronig- Tequila, vielleicht wäre es erfrischender wenn es eiskalt wäre, am Flughafen haben sie es nicht richtig gekühlt. Zitronig bittere Massenplörre. Da waren die meisten ziemlich unbekannten Tequila Biere in Frankreich besser (z.B.: Desquiles Tequila, Estribos Tequila)! Test vom 3.10.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,7,6,7,6,7 - 6,90

This is a huge mistake. Not beer or a spirit but a mix. Golden with a creamy white head. Smells of citrus (lime) and Tequila ie alcohol. Tastes of citrus, peach and malt. Slight bits of hoppiness. Horrible Tequila extract aftertaste that overpowers. Some soap elements. Stay Away from this!

This beer is a crime. Easily the saddest excuse for a beer i’ve ever had. Fucking hell.

Blond van kleur, een witte kraag die redelijk snel verdwijnt. Aroma van wat citroen, grapefruit, kauwgom, peper. Smaakt fris en citroenachtig, lekker voor op warme dagen. Misschien niet echt een biersmaak maar so what?

Bottle. No, no, no! Well, it does not start too bad, with a fairly nice light yellow pour and a small creamy head. Then again, there’s absolutely nothing more even remotely nice to say about this …brew(?). The aroma mostly puts to mind memories of bubblegum, and the flavour is sweet sugary water, wine gum and alcopops. The finish is even worse. Stay away from this abomination.

Nov 2006: Well, what can I say? Looked a bit sad and limp, very pale and sickly really. Lemon sherbet aroma, not a beery smell to be found. Tastes like a very sweet lager shandy, glad I couldn’t find any tequila flavour. The brewer/accountant who thought this was a seller was looking at the alco-pop market for kids, not serious beer drinkers. Avoid this drink like you would the plague!

pours yellow with thin white head. aroma is sweet, some noticeable tequila notes. taste is sweet and not very "beer like". there is some tequila presence, and at 6%, its quite potent. I can see why people on this site hate desperados, but with a lime it was something different (along the lines of sol, corona etc), a fun party drink nothing more.
