frankenkitty (1831), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA Jun 6, 2005 Actually touted as being a Corona knock-off... so much so that my 5 oz. sample came replete with a lime wedge. Why??? Clear, sparkling yellow with high effervescence and a lasting white head. I ditched my lime as soon as the glass arrived, but the aroma was still present and it played well with a light yeastiness. Light and crisp (as described) with slight bitterness throughout and a defined presence of wheat. Better than Corona, but what does that really say?

clear yellow, wispy white head,
light sweet malt aroma,
light malt flavor, grainy but only a touch of the expected corn character, sweetness is well balanced by some earthy bitterness, <br />

JMerritt (1118), Macomb, USA Aug 31, 2007 Golden, clear with a medium-sized white head. Rye, maltball, lemonpeel aroma. Sweet malt, rye, wheaty twang to the flavor. Dry, wheaty finish, soft palate. For a so-called "Corona" clone, not bad at all. Blows Corona away, actually - shouldn’t even be compared. RAYBOY01 (1654), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 20, 2007 Very pallid clone of an extremely uninteresting beer, that no one really should be drinking for any reason anyway, much less looking for a pale imitation of which to be sampling instead, when they could just as well find the real thing, pay seventy five percent less, and experience the original, but instead are drinking an expensive copy of a really, really bad beer that costs three times as much instead of enjoying the beer that these guys are trying to copy! rinkybrink (4), naperville, Illinois, USA does not count Nov 11, 2006 A great beer, and goes really well in the summer with a bit of lime and a lawn chair soaking up the sun. Too bad it’s only available during the summer!
