Desperados Tequila Beer 330ml
β β β β β 4.8 (6 reviews)Picture an ice-cold bottle, a lime wedged in the neck, and that first sweet-citrus hit with a whisper of tequila underneath. That's Desperados. It's a lager that drinks lighter and brighter than it sounds, made to be passed around a balcony, a beach, a late one in town. Low on the bitter, high on the fun. Grab a few, we'll have them at your door fast.
It leads with citrus, think lemon and lime with a tangy little zip, riding on a sweet, golden-lager base. The malt brings a soft, syrupy sweetness (there's actual maize and a touch of sugar in there), and the tequila shows up more as a warm, agave-tinged aroma than a hard spirit kick. Bitterness is barely there, the fizz is lively, and it finishes slightly sour-sweet so you reach for the next sip. Easy, cheeky, a bit moreish.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Desperados kicked off the whole tequila-beer idea back in 1995, born at the Fischer brewery in Alsace, France. The trick: a pale lager partly aged in tequila barrels, then blended with agave spirit and lemon flavour so you get the citrusy buzz without it tipping into a shot. These days it's brewed under Heineken and sold in over fifty countries, but the recipe and the lime-in-the-neck ritual are still the heart of it.
