You know, I kinda like Corona w/ a lime and salt on the rim. It takes an average to foul beer and makes it somewhat drinkable. Never gonna be an everyday thing for me but sometimes it’s OK. This, on the other hand, is useless. I will admit that it does a reasonable job of replicating the original beverage--right down to that Corona skunk--but honestly, w/o the fresh lime and actual grains of salt, it looses all its charm.

Back in the day, Miller was always my favorite of the BMC’s. That, along with the fact that I enjoyed a Tecate with lime, made me think this might be halfway decent. WRONG!! I don’t know what the flavor was in this, but it wasn’t lime, unless it was lime flavored soap. Not only did it not enhance the flavor, it basically ruined the entire beer. Nose, flavor and palate were all this fruity-soapy mix, that never got better. I had to pour the bottle dwon the drain at mid-glass. Probably one of the ten worst beers I’ve ever had.

Thanks to maniac for saving me form actually having to spend money on this. Pale fizzy yellow. Aroma is that of Miller Lite, faint corniness with a hint of salt added in. Flavor has lime candy as it warms, corn, and some salt. Not good. It lost a point from my original rating because when I went back and took my last swallow, I got a bad tequila shot shiver from the beer.

Bottle: Fairly dark yellow with a large white lagereque head. Nose is somewhat inviting if you’re into lime spritzers. Taste is about what I’d expected - Highly carbonated lemon lime soda mixed with salt and dirty malts. I’d be happy to never see/smell/drink this ever again.

Uh... this has a pale yellow colour. White head that is like pop fizz. Aroma of some kind of Lime and adjuncts. The flavour of the beer is nothing. The lime flavour disipates very quickly. Plate of water.

THOUGHTS: The flavor in this beer went from 60 to 0 in 1 second flat. There was a bunch of flavor, which wasn’t necessarily great, just strong and then it was just gone. The salt must counteract the sour part of the lime, becuase when there was flavor it was all sweet lime. If you are going to try this one, it is one of those rare beers that actually tastes a little better straight from the bottle. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a light yellow with tons of variously sized bubbles and an average, soapy, white head that mostly diminished. The aroma was light grain and moderate lime and maybe some salt. The flavor was mostly sweet and acidic with some bitterness, sourness and some salt. The initial flavor was not bad. It was mostly lime and just a tad of salt, but then the finish was awful. It was like watered down Tequeza or flat 7 up poured into a Miller Lite. Thankfully the finish was short. The light body watery at first and then suddenly dry. It had fizzy carbonation at first that later became softer. The finish feel was moderately to heavily astringent.

This beer is messed up! So freakin weak, I got it for free at a miller promotion at a bar. Just cause it was free I had it, I would never buy this beer again. My friends and I agreed that this was a girly drink. What I’m surprised at is the alcohol content 4.2% wow!
