A red beer with no head. The aroma is of berries - especially strawberries in a very artificial way. The flavor is sweet with artificial notes of spices (cinnamon) and berries.

Classical Laško beer mixed with ginger aroma which make it kind of ’hot’ and with added red color. ’beer’ is not available anymore.

0.33 l bottle brought from Slovenia (thanks Natalija!) Well, once I told myself no more bandidos, now the two last are here by me if I had sacrificed to drink various crap why not this one, too. Poured red body with small head. Quite nice aroma of fruits, flowers, rum and some artificial cake color also. Flavor sweetish, rum noted, nothing special but passable. Interesting beverage, but as all bandidos, this is not a beer.

Bottle. Light red clear colour with a weak head. Aroma of chemicals and fruitness. Sweet flavour of fruit, berry and candy.

bottle. light red copper color. no beer in this. thin and fruity. feels like a soda.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear, reddish light brown without any head at all. Light aroma of rum. Light body with sweetish, fruity accents - strawberries? Hot? - no way. Thanks to Andras whose dad is responsible for all the....ahem....interesting flavours in these Bandidos. 161206

Bottled(330ml). –Had this one about month ago from some gas station in Slovenia. Looks nice, pale red (maybe currant) coloured, small white head. Strong herbal nose. Aroma is sweet and herbal, like Doggythedog said watered down kräuterlikör (Jägermeister and similar). Odd and not so pleasant beverage with extracts of safflower (saffron), black salsify and hibiscus. I didin’t like it at all and I’ve had gastric problems all the way to France. Few days ago I’ve been through slovenia again and bandidos hot was withdrawn from sales in all gas stations. The other three remained so…

Oh, man. I finally got to try this one. I burst out laughing when I first saw it on Laško’s website, and I really wanted to know what it tasted like. Poured a lovely red colour, that reminded me of Orela, a soft drink made in Split. A small white head that went fast. The aroma is interesting... like watered down kräuterlikör (Jägermeister and similar). The taste is... not that unpleasant. Bonbons, sugar, nothing else. Odd for a beer, an obvious "chick drink", and far better than the other two Bandidos beers I’ve had. Ah, well. At least their idea of "Hot" wasn’t dumping a chili pepper in weak lager.

Light red to orange coloured. No head or carbonation at all. Strange aroma, somewhat spicy at the background. Nice sprankling body when drunk cold. Finish is strange, somewhat spicy, but nothing you could call beer. Just a strange drink.
