Desperados
Desperados is a Heineken brand built around lager flavoured with agave spirit. It appeared in 1995 at the group's brewery in Schiltigheim, Alsace, as the first beer sold in France with the flavour of an agave-based spirit, and today runs its own sites for a long list of European countries. The range is small: pale, sweet-leaning lagers with added flavourings and very little bitterness, plus an alcohol-free version with citrus. The brand itself declares these products as flavoured beer.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
