Desperados Virgin 0.0% sits in flavoured lager territory rather than doing anything convincing with the tequila angle. The nose is sweet lemon peel and lime sherbet with a thin layer of lager malt underneath. On the palate, citrus comes first: bright lime and lemon zest, slightly sweet, with a soft malt backbone and just enough bitterness to stop it tasting like a soft drink. The finish is short and citrus-edged with a faint sherbet sweetness. The mouthfeel is light and lively with vigorous carbonation, though there's a slightly syrupy quality that some will notice. Think less tequila cocktail, more lager shandy going for a Desperados aesthetic. It pours a clear golden with a white head and fine persistent bubbles. If you like citrus-driven lagers and want something that looks the part at a festival or bar without the ABV, this does the job. The tequila naming is more marketing than flavour profile.
