Miller Introducing New Beer Flavor

I may try it and will prob not like it, but it seems like a decent idea

I never like a beer out of a green bottle, but this miller thing sounds disgusting. Why would I want artifically flavored beer with salt and lime? it sounds like a wine cooler marketed for men</p>

[weekapaugjz]

this stuff sounds gross to me.&nbsp; i dont like coronas to begin with so i doubt i would like a cheap miller rip off brew.&nbsp; if i want something with a lime in it, ill take a gin and tonic...

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think it would taste like piss.&nbsp; American beers are frequently brewed with rice instead of barley, which makes them so lightly colored and bland.&nbsp; Adding salt and lime (artificial at that) goes to show that the beer itself isn't good enough on its own.&nbsp; </p><p>As for the lime making it appeal to hispanics, that's bullshit.&nbsp; Americans put lime in Corona, Mexicans do not.</p><p>And as for green bottles, I kind of have the same impression, although I know it's not&nbsp;always true.&nbsp; Heineken, Becks&nbsp;or Grolsch come to mind and they're skuny, but I'm sure there are&nbsp; beers in green bottles that don't&nbsp;taste like that.&nbsp; Maybe Pilsner Urquel?</p>

[furie]

this'll go over big in the midwest

[docgoblin]

Yech!

[JPMNICK]

<p>i forgot about Rolling Rock for an OK beer in a green bottle. </p>

[JimBeam]

<p>I agree with the point that it's more like a wine cooler.</p><p>If they want to capture the markwt of people who like lime ann salt with their beer they should be pushing their beers with an ad that shows you can put&nbsp; a lime in it.</p><p>I'm a big Miller High Life fan and I wouldnt personally put a lime in it but i could see doing it if that was your thing.</p><p>Didnt Tecate have a beer out, maybe still does, with this same premise ?</p><p>I also agree that a lot of people like the beers in green bottles, some chalk it up to the fact that they think it's classy ( a lot of Heinekein drinkers ) and others equate it to a better beer especially the foreign ones.</p><p>I'm basically a corporate schill and only really enjoy for the most part domestic beers ( but I do enjoy Guiness now and again ) so my taste may not be very enlightened.</p><p>To each his own but<em>&nbsp; </em>I<em> </em>despise anything in that colored bottle.</p>

[Tenbatsuzen]

<p>Didn't they try this (kind of) with Tequiza and it failed miserably?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>AND ISN'T ONE OF THE FUCKING MAN LAWS, &quot;DON'T FRUIT THE BEER????&quot; &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>bunch of fucking hypocrites</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>They finally turned an old bar joke into a&nbsp;actual beer.</p><p>Q. What's a Trailer Park Corona?</p><p>A. High Life with a lime.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Doctor Z]

Sweet bottle design, I'll give them that... But sounds like a bad idea.&nbsp; No way fake lime flavoring is gonna be as good as an actual lime.

[Reephdweller]

<p>I'm not a huge fan of fake flavorings being added to beers, add to that SALT and it just doens't appeal to me. I'm not a regular drinker of Corona's though I will on occaision have them with lime and they're good. Though this just sounds a little weird, it's the same reason that Tequiza never appealed to me either. </p><p>As far as the green bottle...I don't mind green bottles, some of my favorites in green are Heineken and Grolsch so it's not a big deal for me as far as the bottle color is concerned. </p>

[STC-Dub]

No thanks.

[riverofpiss]

I have never been a fan as far as adding a lime to my beer.&nbsp; I do like the green bottle though.&nbsp; I probably won't give it a try though, I'm not a big fan of Miller or many american beers.&nbsp; I will drink some canadian beers but I stick mostly with Kilkenney or Innis and Gunn from Scotland.

Think I'll skip it.&nbsp;Too much good beer out there.

<p>Lime might be the new hotness?</p><p>I just reviewed this lime beer shot stuff they are selling in the stores.</p><p><a href="http://www.78west.com/wordpress/?p=157">Spicy Lime Spykes.&nbsp;</a></p><p>It sucked.&nbsp; I hope this stuff is better, but I'll be sure to try it when it comes out.&nbsp;</p>

[angelinad128]

No harm in trying it once. It may turn out to be decent. Who doesn't lush the lime into their Corona bottle?

[Dan 'Hampton]

What's with the urban myth that Corona is &quot;good beer&quot;.&nbsp; The stuff is club-trash chick beer.&nbsp; Plus I hear the Mexicans piss in the vats.

i'll definetly try it. but i'm still going to be loyal to my MGD
