Tequiza

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Serve in Lager glass, Tumbler

Poured a light yellow. As bad as Corona is this is worse. Smells of corn and lime. Very unpleasant flavor. A really bad beer. Hard to believe you can make something taste this bad, but they did it. Gag.

Pour is a bright yellow with no head. Aroma is budweiser like with a citurs smell. Flavor is a sweet lemon lime with a wet paper after taste. Think 7up and cardboard. Not real good on all levels and i’m glad i just bought a single.

Bottle... oh ye gods. Pours light, light, fizzy, fizzy yellow. If 7-up could get skunky, it would smell like this. The flavor is, oh man, old limes, DMS, and a chalky finish that is exactly like dry Froot Loops. This "beer" makes me laugh.

UPDATED: JAN 9, 2009 <i>Bottled, brewed in Russia by Tinkoff.</i> My 300th rating serves as a warning: Tequiza is apparently being licensed to other countries. This Russian version does have a distinctly lime and agave note. But there’s still just no real reason for it to exist. Just buy a damn margarita. Interesting that the beer appears on their original Russian website, but when you switch to the English version, it’s gone. And for an outfit that claims craft brewing pretensions, what’s with the clear bottles? (Okay, this one was in green bottles, but you get the point)

Bottle. Bizarre concept, bizarre all throughout. Almost tasted dirty. I didn’t pick up on beer or tequila in this one, though the lime was pretty strong.

This doesn’t work for me. I like beer, I like tequila (and margaritas) - but I’d rather have either/or, but not mixed together like this. Flavor hints at margaritaesqueness but its then followed by a beer bitterness that ruins it (Imagine a bitter margarita).

I’m pretty sure this is sold as a novelty beer. Only drink this if you are eating mexican food. A strange sweetness nests with this brew, much like Froot Loops. No hops flavor, mild maltness. A must try at least once, dont expect to drink a six-pack anytime soon.

UPDATED: OCT 3, 2004 God this shit is so foul. Its a Bud with 10 limes thrown in it. Its almost not drinkable. I had this for shits and giggles the other day. It was rough. Id rather have crap watery swill than this punishment. What the hell were the folks at AB thinking? As always they weren't. Utter shit!
