In France we consider it as a beer for girls or kids that can't drink a real beer, sorry

lol, well over here its a speciality! i see in france you also have the red version!, i take it you stick to your kronenbourg panog!, i go skiing in the alps nearly every christmas, morzine/avoriaz/les gets <--- if you know them places.

had relatives living in geneva and used to have an apartment out in the alps as its only an hour from there to cross the border.

and yeah dan makro stock it by the crate, morrisons have also started selling it, around £4.50 for 3 bottles lol!!

i think dom matteo has opened a bar in leeds and they do it on tap!

LOL no in fact it can be considered as a man beer, but you know the kind of man that loves riding horses and doing haircut... and loves ballets
IMO there is no good french beers, I always drink belgian ones

Tried it but didn't like it, I like my beer too taste of beer.

(Just to be pedantic the main ingrediant isn't tequila it's water

)

Morrisons sell it, not that expensive either I dont think...

No I live in the suburbs of Paris and my parents aren't fond of skiing, and neither do I, I have to admit.
But I went once or twice just to visit, and yeah it's cool, but not my favourite place in France

Just to be more pedantic I dont think the alcohol content is governed by the tequila either, according to wiki it's a flavouring.

Funny you should mention that, was drinking it on holiday a couple of weeks ago, was okay but I couldn't drink more than 2-3 bottles at once, bit too sickly.

Albert Heijn had a nice one that was similar but a bit cheaper and another one in the same range that had Mojito flavouring instead of Tequila, again nice, but couldn't drink a load of it.
