But the best is Dos Equis Amber. Nothing like a German beer made in Mexico.
Guess I could say the same about cars (like my VW?).

I always thought the lime gimmick started when the breweries down there
switched from bottles to cans. The metallic taste didn't go over well, and
the lime made it acceptable. Interesting that Corona pushes the lime
connection so hard, but then any beer in a clear bottle probably needs it.
