Salitos Tequila

ABV 5,9%

Another beer mix, and as with all the others this isn't anything special. A clean glass bottle of 330 ml. I poured some in a small glass just to witness the head and the rest drunk from the bottle. Colour as one can easily see from the transparent glass bottle is golden yellow. A thin white head which left me very fast, and so did the bubbles who were at first present.

Now, on  my bottle says that this is 58% beer and 42% soft drink, but it doesn't say anything about tequila, at least not in english or dutch. In other languages it mentions something about tequila, but I can't really get it. Anyhow, I personally don't smell any tequila, which is a good thing, I smell though a strong lime aroma. Well, that sums it up.

Taste is sort of sweet at first, but the aftertaste is mostly sour from the citrus.

Heavily carbonated and with a light body.

Not so much different than the other tequila flavored beers out there, maybe it's nice out in the sun, drinking it on a beach bar.

Salitos Mojito

ABV 5%

I think my first time I had this one was a year ago while I was having dinner with my girlfriend at a mexican restaurant. I couldn't possibly take any notes back then since I was in the middle of a dinner, but nevertheless I kept some mental ones, on which the following review was based.

From bottle. Colour is green-ish yellow.I liked the appearance and the way it changed under the light. Aroma of mint. Light taste, also mint, refreshing. I would honor it during the summer months if it was nearby available,still, I give it a low overall score since it contains less than 50% beer.

One year later, this beer mix is more widely available, at least in my city, since it's one of the new beers at the local supermarket. When I saw it I thought to give it another try. Also, coincidenly, my girlfriend is going again tonight to that restaurant for dinner ( I am staying home to drink more beers). This is my re-review, much more different than before.



330 ml white glass bottle with a twist-to-open crown cap, at home. This is surely made to be drunk straight from the bottle, but I poured it into a glass anyway. Colour is transparent green-yellowish, with a head that leaves the beer straight away. No bubbles whatsoever in the glass. 3,5
Aroma is of limes mostly with a subtle mint smell. 3
Taste is also of limes and mint. The mint flavour much more stronger on the aftertaste. Somehow, they managed to make it taste like a mojito, so whenever your girlfriend complains that "you only drink beer, beer, beer, try something else for once, for god's sake" you can order this one if it's available and pretend you drink a summer cocktail. Or just order your favorite beer and just ignore your girlfried anyway. 2,5
On the body is as thin as water, and quite carbonated, to the point that your first sip will make you think that you drink soft drink, or maybe an energy drink if you take the colour into account.Makes sense of course, this one is 58% mojito flavoured soft drink and 42% beer.
Overall, and after taking a look on the ingredients, I don't think I will look for it any time soon, too many chemical craps. I am pretty sure that if I add lime juice and a mint leaf into my ordinary lager it will be better than this.

El Tequito Beer

ABV 5,9%

Bottle of 330 ml, at home, poured into a shaker type of glass. Bought at the local LIDL supermarket, from a shelf with El Tequito chips,El Tequito tortillas, El Tequito mexican type sauces etc. Made in France according to my bottle.
Deep golden color as one can see from the white glass bottle, one finger head that goes away as it was a softdrink's foam. A couple of bubbles rising to the top and that's it. Looks much more promising while inside the bottle to be honest.
Aroma of lime that overcomes anything else that might was there, artificial of course, but pleasant, at least it doesn't smell as toilet freshener.
The lime is also very obvious on the taste, again, overcoming everything else. The tequila flavor is there, but very very faint, you really need to focus to discover some traces of it. So, in conclusion, this tastes more as a lime-made lemonade with some alcohol than an actual beer. When will I learn to avoid beer mixes?
A bit stiff on the palate, with very light body and light carbonation if drunk from a glass. Drunk from the bottle makes of corse the carbonation a bit stronger.
Overall, and having in mind that this is supposed to be a mexican type of beer in the grounds of Corona, it wasn't that bad, provided you drink it in a beach bar, straight from the bottle, in a very hot summer day. For the price of 3 euros for four bottles that I bought it, it's a good, if not better,alternative to Desperados and Salitos.
