Lemon 0.0

A 0.0% lemon and lime flavoured lager from Desperados, fully fermented and dealcoholised, with citrus character leading over a light malt base.

About This Drink

Desperados Lemon 0.0 is the tequila-free version of the brand's AF range — just a citrus-flavoured lager without the agave angle. It's brewed to full strength and then dealcoholised, which is a better production approach than stopping fermentation early for flavour retention. Lemon and lime are the dominant flavours, which makes this closer to a lager-shandy hybrid than a straight beer. The aroma is sweet lemon peel with a light malt background, and the palate follows: citrus-heavy, bright, moderately sweet, with a subtle bitter edge that stops it tasting like a soft drink. The finish is short and citrus-edged with a slight sweetness. The carbonation is vigorous and lively. It pours a light amber with a generous frothy head. At 29 calories and 4.8g sugar per 100ml it's on the higher end for an AF beer, reflecting the added flavourings and sugar. Available in 400ml bottles at a number of UK retailers. If you liked the tequila-themed original but don't want the agave flavour, this is the simpler citrus version of the same idea.
