Desperados is an agave spirit flavoured pale lager beer with 5.9% alcohol by volume (ABV) originally created and produced by the French brewing company Fischer Brewery but now is produced by Zlatý Bažant Brewery, a Heineken N.V. subsidiary.[1][2][3]
Desperados has a 5.9% ABV. The beer is now sold in over fifty countries. The beer was reformulated and cheapened, away from its original recipe using tequila. The new recipe also raised the ABV up from 5.6% to 5.9%.
Desperados' listed ingredients were water, malted barley, glucose syrup, corn, sugar, aromatic compound (agave spirit), citric acid, and hop extract.
