    I can't drink anything with tequila in it, and didn't detect any tequila in these. Doubt there is any.

    For what it is worth, if you are someone who likes the a-Rita drinks, or Mike's, then please seek out Cayman Jack. Not sure who makes it, but it uses real Agave and lime juice, and tastes a lot like a real margarita. It is to Bud Light lime-a-Rita what a decent craft beer is to Bud Light.

    My girlfriend likes 'em, so I buy them when she wants them.I will usually taste it. She hasn't cracked the mango open yet. I imagine it's as good as the others, which IMHO, aren't bad. I don't consider them beer, not even close.

    Beer with flavoring. No Tequila.

    http://www.anheuser-busch.com/s/uploads/Bud-Light-Lime-Ritas-Fact-Sheet.pdf
    Ingredients "Bud Light Lime Lime-A-Rita and Bud Light Lime
    Straw-Ber-Rita are carefully brewed with a combination of
    barley malt, non-malted cereal grains and subtle hopping
    before they undergo special filtration. They are then blended
    with Bud Light Lime and additional ingredients to provide a
    refreshingly inviting margarita flavor. "

    I got to try both the lime and strawberry versions. The lime was ok, but the strawberry was too sweet and tasted bad in general. Have been thinking about picking up a can of raspberry and mango since they're only $1 for a single. Tickers got to tick.

    Drink what you like, try what you want to try. I personally think they all suck after trying them

    This is exactly why I feel all the -ritas should be removed from the database. They are, by even the breweries definition, a beer cocktail. The flavoring does not enter into the picture during the brewing process. They are no different than making a shandy or any other beer or malt beverage cocktail.[/QUOTE]

    There is also a difference between a pils made with fruit and a sugary alcoholic drink. Would you argue UFO Razz is in the same 'malternative' category? I don't even like it yet I have enough sense to know it's still beer. Judging from your post history you have a serious hard-on for DFH. Did Sam deny your friend request or something?

    If we have the -rita's I mean fuck, might as well add hard ciders.

    There is not one iota of difference between these -ritas and Mikes Hard Lemonaid Not one. Yet Mike's Hard Lemonaid is not allowed here.
    In fact the website of Mike's Hard Lemonade states that the FDA classifies them as BEER! That's why you can't get a list of ingredients.
    I think the Bro's should clarify what exactly a beer is . Oh wait! they did: http://www.beeradvocate.com/articles/303/

    LOL

    Don't know if many of you have taken the time to notice but you get a stream of "I am a newbie- tell me about IPA's which are to bitter for me:slight_frown:" type lurker quotes, but I don't think they are lurkers, but BA's who for one reason or another like to do it. Just had one a week ago on an account that we set up four years and their first post four years later was one such.

    They are neither. The only similarity to Bud Light is in the name, and its most definitely not made with tequilla.
