Picture your usual cold lager, then someone hands it a mojito and says go wild. That's this. Pale gold, bright with lime and a cool hit of mint, all sitting on Desperados' signature tequila-spiked beer. It's a 5.9% party-starter for a hot Nairobi evening, a rooftop, or that point in the night when plain beer feels a bit too sensible. Crack one, it goes down like the start of a good story.
First thing that hits you is the lime, fresh and zesty, with that cool minty lift right behind it like a proper mojito. Underneath sits a light golden lager, soft and a little sweet, with a faint rum-and-tequila warmth woven in (yes, it's actually flavoured with both). It's fizzy and bright rather than heavy, the bitterness dialled right down so the fruit and herbs run the show. Easy company, bold enough to notice.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Desperados is the brand that basically invented tequila-flavoured beer, born back in 1995 over at the old Fischer brewery in Strasbourg, France. Heineken scooped it up a year later and it's now brewed across Europe, including this batch out of Poland. The Mojito is one of its flavoured spin-offs: same tequila-lager idea, dressed up with mint, lime and a touch of rum to chase that classic cocktail.
