If you're over shots and margaritas, but still want that tequila taste, Anheuser-Busch InBev's new beer has you covered.

"Oculto" will debut next spring, The Wall Street Journal reports, and it will combine everything good about beer (beer) with blue agave (the plant used to make tequila), resulting in a lager with 6 percent alcohol. The beer won't actually include tequila, but the hope is that by tasting like it, Oculto will pull cocktail drinkers back to the hoppier side.
