Swalden28 (1439), McKinney, Texas, USA Mar 14, 2008 This actually tastes, looks, and smells like a Miller High LIfe and Corona mix to together....same mouthfeel too....I respect the High Life as well, but not a half crafted clone of it.....I payed WAY toooo much for this....$8.49 for a six pack. Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Mar 13, 2008 A-B delivery guy dropped off two cases of this beer at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul. Margaritaville Brewing Co? Only A-B could come up with a name like that. Pours a clear golden pale brew with a fast dissolving white head that dissipates clean. Aroma of corn grits, some grassy hops and a touch of citrus. Taste is light bodied, much carbonation with flavors of watery light grain malt with a touch of corn and grass. Finish is slightly gritty with a clean aftertaste. But sure close to water. DJC (238), USA Mar 13, 2008 I would have know what to expect from this had I know that A-B brews it. The appearance isn’t too bad -- looks like a typical pale lager -- but that’s its greatest attribute. The smell is uninviting, and the flavor is much the same. Odd, chemical-like notes are everywhere, and it really makes me wonder just what the heck is really in there. Honestly, I can’t remember when I’ve had something this bad tasting, and probably bad for me. Please, don’t waste your money on this one; but if you have, I hope you’ve learned your lesson (I know I did). mtoast (290), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 12, 2008 Smells like: Fermented creamed corn.
Looks Like: Hangover piss.
Tastes Like: Watered down creamed corn and formaldehyde.
Feels Like: It’s gonna try and exit my skull via a sledgehammer
Overall: Why? chandler0201 (341), Durham, North Carolina, USA Mar 11, 2008 Crappy knock off of a crappy beer named Corona. Similarly over-priced as well. Sour strawberry aroma and barely any taste, no shock there. What does surprise me, is that I can get a 6 pack of Brooklyn Double Chocolate Stout for 40 cents more than a 6 pack of this crap. Just plain amazes me. HogTownHarry (3922), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Mar 9, 2008 Bottle (12oz - clear). A BMC pale lager - joy. Very clear, very pale gold, very white head, very quick diminishing. Smells like dry scorched corn and ditchwater - harsh. Tastes sweet - cheap sweet with wet newsprint and straw. Body like water-lite, hardly any carbonation, a wisp of astringency but mostly just a cheap harsh sugary aftertaste that lasted forever. Urgh. RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA Mar 9, 2008 Clear bottle. Yay. Like this beer needs help going bad. Aroma, flavor, palate ...all scream overly sweet, corny Corona knockoff. I don’t normally do so, but I added the provided lime in sheer self defense. Even my friend, who is a big Corona (and watery beer) fan, tried it and declared it undrinkable. Traded it back for a Dos Equis. Probably not in for the long haul, as the waitress said I was the first person ever to order one. No big loss if this disappears from the market. JJClark (545), Roscoe, Illinois, USA Mar 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light yellow color with a big foamy white head. Aroma is a little skunky with hints of corn and soap. Taste of corn and lemon with a faint hop influence. The finish is clean and semi sweet. Nothing I would ever want to drink again.
