Product & Producer Information

Desperado Lager is produced by the Desperados Brewery, a subsidiary of Heineken, based in the Netherlands. The brewery has established a name for itself by infusing their beers with unique flavours, creating a fusion of craft beer styles that appeal to a wide audience. Desperado is especially known for its distinct tequila-inspired flavour profile, making it stand out in the lager category.

The Desperado brand was first launched in 1989, and it has since grown into one of the most recognisable international beer brands, known for its bold flavour and adventurous branding. Desperado Lager is the perfect choice for those looking to try something different with their lager while maintaining a high level of quality and craftsmanship.

This lager is brewed using a combination of malted barley, hops, and a touch of tequila, giving it a distinct taste that is not only refreshing but also offers a unique twist compared to regular lagers. The beer is designed to appeal to people who appreciate creativity in their beer selection and those looking to experiment with flavours that go beyond the traditional lager.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Desperado Lager pours a pale golden colour with a slight haze, typical of a lager, but the slightly cloudy nature gives it a rustic, unfiltered appearance. The head is white and frothy, dissipating quickly but leaving behind delicate lacing on the glass.

Aroma: The aroma is a delightful combination of citrus and herbal notes, with a touch of agave sweetness reminiscent of its tequila infusion. The maltiness of the lager is subtle, offering a clean, crisp backdrop to the more aromatic layers.

Flavour: On the palate, Desperado Lager delivers a smooth, balanced flavour. The initial malt sweetness is quickly followed by a refreshing citrus bite, with a light bitterness that doesn’t overpower the taste. The agave flavour enhances the lager, offering an unexpected and pleasant sweetness that lingers long after the first sip.

Mouthfeel: The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, with a mild carbonation that helps to accentuate the refreshing nature of the beer. It’s smooth but not too heavy, making it easy to drink over extended periods without feeling too full.

Food Pairings

Desperado Lager pairs beautifully with a wide range of foods, making it a versatile option for any gathering. Here are some great food pairings to elevate your beer experience:

• Tacos or Burritos: The slight agave sweetness complements the spicy and zesty flavours of Mexican cuisine, especially tacos filled with grilled meats or seafood.
• Grilled Chicken: The beer’s light bitterness and citrus notes pair well with the smoky, charred flavours of grilled chicken, making for a perfect match.
• Cheese: Soft cheeses like brie or goat cheese work wonderfully with the crisp, refreshing lager, while more intense cheeses like blue cheese offer an interesting contrast.
• Salads with citrus dressings: The zesty nature of Desperado Lager complements fresh salads, especially those with citrus-based vinaigrettes or spicy ingredients like jalapeños.
• Sushi: The clean finish and balanced flavours of Desperado Lager go perfectly with fresh sushi or sashimi, especially rolls with spicy tuna or salmon.
