A Chelada-style light lager beeer with a hint of lime and salt added.

A quick decanting shows the obvious clarity of a light beer and the head of one as well. Not much head retention at all but it was not expected. Odd lime aroma, very similar to the natural agents added to soda. There is even a salty note in the nose. First sip shows an extremely thin body with a forced refreshing carbonation. The flavor is the same as the aroma, soda-like lime flavor. Very little malt character at all, hops are a no show and there is a mild salty tone middle to end. Bone dry with a watery lime flavor in the finish.
Chalk this up at a border-line malternative, a beer for people that don't like beer. It actually tastes like a really bad diet soda. Even if this does stick around for more than several years and not deemed a fad anymore it will simply live on as a sub-par product for the ignorant uneducated consumer. Hell, with the amount of soda that is sold in the US this one will probably be here for a long long time but this will be the last visit here as this is a big fat thumbs down.

I always thought this was one of the better Chelada style beers, with Modelo being the exception. I wish they had not discontinued it because I would by it frequently for it's lime and salt flavor, which was great on hot days. Plus, it seemed to have a slight tequila flavor to it, which may have thrown a few people off. The look was just fine, smell, I thought had that hint of lime and tequila aroma. Same with the taste, different from other lime beers, and I preferred that, and the feel was just fine, it went down great, maybe too good. I can tell you, chase a shot of tequila with this beer, and you are good to go!..

As of the 14th of February 2019, this beer is still available in Australia. Brewed under license by Coca-Cola.
It must be selling since it's been around for a while.
My brother gave me a case for my birthday. Thanks Keith.
I poured it in a glass, went out the back for a smoke and had a swig. I then upturned the glass and fed the pot plant.
I hope it doesn't die.
Nasty stuff. Not sure how it can even be called beer.

An oldie but a goodie. I wish they still made this so I could have another. I remember it being yummy, far as I was concerned. Like a pleasantly mild Mike’s Hard Lemonade. Quite worthy. ca. 2008

Awful crap. Looks like a delicious drop, terrible mess of flavour, hardly any lime, and a watery lagery mess behind that. Great for hot days. Sour mouth feel, and quite refreshing ice cold. Love what it could be, not what it is.

12 oz bottle. Smells of corn, lime, and dirty socks. Surprisingly, it retains a thin head for most of the beer. Tastes like an extremely light lager; definite lime and salt flavor. It’s like a Corona and lime without the skunk flavor. I had one of these on a hot day one time after mowing the lawn and I thought it was delicious. In other words, if you’re extremely hot, dehydrated, and thirsty, this beer goes down very well. Any other time, stay far away from it.

There is some weird psychosomatic thing I have where I dig the euro lagers that are in a green bottle, but when America does it, somehow it falls flat. When poured, this stuff looks pretty shitty, malternative beverage appearance, doesn't hold a head like it should. Aroma of corn syrup and sugar.
More sweetness in the taste. Is this marketed at 13 year old girls? Miller & Chill? Some lime like notes. Highly carbonated. I think this is pretty disgusting.

This was one of the worse Miller beers I've ever had.
