Opinion on Desperados

What's your opinion on desperados? I know alot of people think it's not "real beer" but I think it's quite tasty and would happily drink a bottle.

I'm one of that lot. It's Bacardi Breezer marketed to boys.

Ha! fair enough , but in truth, you'd still drink a bottle of Bacardi breezer because it's tasty. couldn't stomach more than one though, too sweet.

Absolutely awful piss. I drank a half bottle of it before and it instantly turned my stomach. Even throwing a shot of vodka into a pint doesn't taste as awful as that.

Possibly the worst liquid masquerading as beer that I've ever tasted.

I guess that makes it an under-appreciated niche drink. If you like it, drink it, but just so you know there are few drinks that are universally liked on this forum, maybe metalman is the closest thing to somethig everyone here likes.

I'll make a point of trying it then, would fran well have it?
Also, I didn't post this because desparados is my favorite drink or anything, I just knew there were mixed opinions on it and wanted to see what the people on here thought.

Quite possibly, although with rebel red straight from the source it's hard to drink anything else there!

Rotten stuff altogether, had one sip, spat it out and poured the bottle down the sink.
