Drinks like a sophomoric margarita. Refreshing enough to drink with a big plate of tacos.
Light hazy, green tinted straw liquid. Aromas of lime, wood, salt and agave. Sugary lime flavors. Lime Kool-aide with a hint of tequila. 4/13
237ml can. Hazy pale yellow. Lime and sweet aroma. Taste is sweet with lime notes. Too sweet.
Sample from rep...i drank it because it was free...not really enjoyable but drinkable in a pinch.
25 0z. can. Pours no head, over a fizzy, cloudy yellow (SRM 3) body........nose is lime, with a hint of lemon, no malts, no hops, light tequila, moderate chemical tones.....taste is slightly sweet, with lemon lime sourness, light tequila notes, no malts, no hops, lingering chemical notes.......mouth feel light and watery, moderate alcohol, high quite fizzy soda like carbonation. The qualities of beer are almost completely absent from this concoction. Fruit beers should have an identifiable beer character that is enhanced by the fruit addition. This is really more of an alcoholic chemical laden soda pop. BJCP 4/1/6/3/4
Tough to rate this. It’s not truly a beer.
Pours a lemonade, okay, limeade color. No head, no lacing. For a beer, it’s bad.
Aroma is much like a margarita. Lime and salt and maybe tequila. Smells okay.
Taste is salty lime with tequila kick. What else would you expect? It’s actually okay.
Mouthfeel is medium body. There’s nothing refreshing, or notable about it.
Overall, it’s similar in taste to a margarita. Again, pretty good. I’ll give my overall a better score than the rest of the categories. I don’t think I’ll have this again, but I’m curious enough now to want to try the others.
Can from Martys, drunk 1/16/16.
Like its brethren, it’s wholly artificial, not worth being poured in to a glass and not palatable. Probably worse than the mango but maybe better than the apple? Artificial lime, sugar, chemical and syrup on the end. They do hide the abv well, I guess? Not much to say, but sure, I’ll take the tick.

hazy lemon, no head. Stinging chemical nose, lemon concentrate. Pleasantly sweet palate, chemicals coming mid palate, Heavy effervescence. Nothing too offensive. Learnin the scale, n00bs.
Can - not much head, light green color, overly sweet, artificial lime flavoring, like a pretty bad/cheap margarita
Small can passed on by Craig at Cropredy, Fairports Annual Reunion Festival August 2015 cheers Craig. Consumed at home Friday 27th November 2015 Very limey aroma, also sweet, no beer noted at all. Cloudy in colour looks like Robinsons Barley Water. Tastes very alcoholic, sweet, far too sweet like an alcopops. A4 A2 T3 P2 Ov7 1.8
Giant 25oz can thanks to Mr Chopin. What a jerk! Pours a clear lime gold. No head. Nose smelled like someone puked a margarita, salt. Flavor is lime and butter and salt and coconut. Bad. The worst of the bunch.
Yup, it has a margarita flavor. More bitter, but plenty of sweet, sour, lemon, lime. Some strange tequila flavor too. Not great, but is what it is.
Can hoisted upon us by MrChopin, our new sworn enemy. Cloudy yellow green color. Aroma of chemicals. Taste of chemicals. Blah.
Pours barely any head and what little there is goes away quickly. Has a light green/yellowish appearance. No lacing at all. Aromas of lime, citrusy notes. Flavours are quite bitter and sour, just lime and a lemon like taste. Alcohol in the finish. Just awful and glad it?s a tiny can.
8 oz can. Bud Light Lime-a-Rita is a somewhat hazy light green liquid with fizzy carbonation. Nose is fake lime and mock margarita spice. Taste is lime and a bit of tang with a good amount of sweetness. Body thin. overall a decent margarita substitute in a can.
8 oz. can. Pours hazy/cloudy. No head. Aroma of lime, tequila and lemon. Tasted like a badly made margarita.
If you like beer and you want a beer don’t buy this but if you like margaritas and it’s a treat. Make an Arnold Palmer with half unsweetened ice tea and half linearity at a barbaque for a refreshing alternative to beers,
Refreshing Margarita minus the tequila & triple sec. Sweet & tart with a strong but smooth lime flavor. Overall ok but not my thing. As a beverage I would rate this higher but as a beer, it barely qualifies thus a middle of the road 10 for me overall

wan gold, thin, fruity, not overly artificial tasting, rowntrees fruit pastilles
Can from Nick Knacks. Needed the rating. Notes of acid, lemon, lime and sugar. Body was thin. Very sweet. Ehhh.
Limey, acidic. Margarita ish, but very sweet and gives me a bit of heartburn. Maybe I’m just a bitch,.
Pours a cloudy white. Aroma is spritzy lemon. Taste is lemon, lime, citrus and 7up.
Bottle. Cloudy jizz colour with no head. Stong lime aroma, lemonade. Taste is super bad, stong bitter lemon and lime, intense. Sweet and an assault on the mouth
Murky grey, no head. Stench of Margarita mix a soon as the can was opened. A bit of a rich sweetness throughout, there’s a decent tang and the carbonation returns a fairly smashable vibe here but it’s something that you’d just about get away with on holiday in a hot country without any non-pale lagers. Wee bit ginny on the finish.
Bottle, Beers I Hadn’t Known Were Gushers Daisy Tasting
Can at craig’s. Pours hazy white, nose is funky lemon and lime, taste is similar, bit like a shandy.
Bottle at Craig’s. Pours like cloudy lemonade. Aromas of lemon and lime. Taste is sweet. Chalky finish.

Can found in Vegas. small can. Tasted like a cooler, did not pour nor smell like a beer. If you even noticed there was beer in this you’re drinking it wrong.
Cute little 8 oz can poured into a snifter. A buck from Safeway. Murky pale lemonade yellow with a few off-white bubbles that fade into a hyper-rare thin ring. Aromas of lemon lime and sweet lemonade, subtle salt, some booze. Tastes of lemon lime, some booze, a bit of salt, sugar. Light body with a semi-dry finish.
Can from Safeway. A little sweet with a salty sort of flavor to it. Does have some margarita flavor to it. I’ll give it that.
