Desperados - 5.9 % Tequila Flavoured Beer
RATING > 10 - by David Cheade | Type : Lager | Country : France | Date > 2005-08-31
Found this lager in Spain whilst on a stag do. French lager flavoured with Tequila and Lime. It boasts 5.9% and is a resfreshing change from most other lagers. You'll find that its hard to come by in the UK, but there are a few suppliers out there. Thank god for that !!

Now this is a beer and a half!! as many people have said it is not widely sold in the UK, however, if you ever visit Newquay in Cornwall then you will find it in almost all pub, bars and clubs. I admit it is an expensive drink, but my god is it worth it!!

First discovered this cheeky little beer in France a couple of years ago whilst riding round on my motorbike. The only words i can use to explain it is BLOODY OUTSTANDING ! A lovely tasting beer that is very easy to drink and very easy to get drunk on ! I am just tucking into one right now. The cheapest place i have found to get it from in the UK is www.desperadosshop.co.uk

RATING > 10 - by Dave McMaster | Date > 2006-09-25
Great to find a thirst quenching beer with a refreshing taste of Tequila & Lime thrown into the mix for good measure. Found it in the Mexican Chain of Restuarants Chiquito but found them rather expensive at over £3.00 per bottle.

The local liquor stores here in Montreal have been selling Desperados for about a year now.... AN EXCELLENT beer! First discovered it in Paris in 2003...

RATING > 10 - by Nicksterrr | Date > 2007-01-05
Spent a ski trip just before Xmas drowning in this stuff. A quality lager and real loopy juice if you drink it all night (in a good way!!). Not found it in Berkshire as yet, any knowledge would be gratefully received. I hear a rumour that some offlicences do get stocks in every now and again so shall continue my search. Also some bars in London but still trying to find details. May have to do some online shopping.

First tried Desperados in New Caledonia. Just a great taste and was readily available. Was able to bring some home, and have had no luck in finding anybody that stocks it locally. A real shame as I could rap my tongue around one just now.....

Great taste but i cannot find anywhere in my area that sell it is large bulk. Apart from that, its a great beer.

RATING > 3 - by Edward Sell | Date > 2007-07-24
Desperados is not a beer, it is just a sweet alcoholic lemonade. Tastes like Jelly if slightly warm

RATING > 10 - by Josh Davis | Date > 2007-08-09
Found this awesome beer at a boss little pub in Liverpool, the Pilgrim. It is truely wonderful, so glad we decided to have some on a total whim! Never a bad thing to say about this one.

Desperados is stunning stuff! I first tried it in Austria back in April. Nothing is like it worth the money. Wish they sold it around the Swansea area.

i was in spain last week and went to a pub i asked for a beer but the waitress didnt understand me so i pointed at the fridge with beers in and she gave me a desperado. at first i was like what a weird tast so i had another mouthfull and i was starting to like it after one bottle i loved it and wanted more. it is a nice taste but a taste you have never had before it is a must have. i amnow trying to find somewhere that sells it because i want all my firends and family to taste it.

Was in Denia, Spain two weeks ago and found Desperados Beer, which I now love. Does anybody know where I can get this in the USA or better said Connecticut? Thanks.

Had my first one in the pub yesterday, in England suprisingly. I LOVED IT! It is my new favourite beer. God bless it

RATING > 8 - by Mike | Date > 2008-06-19
I found this beer in one of my locals here in Frodsham, Cheshire after it was refurbished. It has a very different flavour to almost anything I have tried before. The best I could describe it as a strongish beer with quite a sharp lime/lemon flavour. A bit too sweet for me and too strong for a session beer, hence only an 8!

RATING > 8 - by Julie Davies | Date > 2008-07-01
Me and my boyfriend went to Corfu on holiday and we discoverd desperados in a Mexican restaurant. Absolutely love the stuff!!!!
