Question

What do you think of the lime flavored beers? are they catering to people who really don't like beer?

Answer 1

Personally I think they are disgusting. If you want a beer with lime in it, drink a corona with lime. I don't think the are necessarily catering to people who dont like beer. They are trying to compete with Corona.

If someone doesn't like beer, dont drink it! Have a smirnoff twister or a mike's hard lemonade, those tastes good!

Answer 2

They are offering a lightly flavored beer that is often preferred in the summer.  It saves you from the storing and slicing of limes.  It's also another flavor option, and that will add to the producers profits.  Oh, and yes, it's a good choice to try for people who don't like most beers.

Answer 3

i dont really understand wtf they are tryin to do

but i know they suck....

i like beer..i like the taste

amberbock is my favorite

=)

Answer 4

they are horrible.  I actually bought one and did not drink the thing it was so disgusting.  They are actually marketed to the hispanic population.  I know this because a friend works for Miller marketing.  

Answer 5

I go to Rocky Point, Mexico a couple times a year and love Tecate with a wedge of lime and salt. That and fresh seafood and I am in Heaven..... Miller's lime and salt beer is really bad.  

Answer 6

I personally don't like flavored beer, but I think beer companies are smart for making them. Now they have more products that appeal to different types of people.  

Answer 7

I think it is just another way for them to change things up and get more customers.  Lots of people drink lime in their beer and even if you dont you probably would buy it just to try it!

Answer 8

They're gross and yes. Luckily, the big brewers are also starting to come out with good beer for those of us who like it (the new Bud Ale, for instance).
