Corona – You need the Lime

I kind of laugh when I see people go for a case of Corona and pick up a bunch of limes.  These people usually don’t know why they put the lime in the beer, they just do it.  Welcome to Corona 101:

So why do you put the Lime in Corona? Well there’s a bunch of theories but we’ll discuss the most accepted one.

Corona is traditionally drunk with  either a lemon or lime because before the the advent of refrigerated trucks the beer would get skunky and rancid on the trip from Mexico to the U.S.  Putting a little citric acid (lime/lemon juice) in the beer not only masked the taste of this skunked beer it also killed some of the bacteria that had grown in the bottle.

The clear bottle only compounds this problem because sunlight or light from fluorescent bulbs such as those used in refrigerated display cases significantly damages the taste of beer.  The essential hop oils spoil from exposure to UV light.  Brown bottles mitigate sun damage to beer.

So think about that when you go to have your next Corona and Lime.  You may just be drinking a skunky beer.

I’ll shift my attention to the new Bud Lite Lime.  In the commercial it states that it is enhanced with 100% Natural Lime Flavor.  If it was 100% natural why wouldn’t they just say 100% natural lime juice and not flavor? Budweiser is intentionally trying to mislead the beer drinking public with this statement.  Obviously there is some sort of processing involved there. In this case natural does not mean organic.  High Fructose Corn Syrup is considered natural though you wouldn’t really think of it as natural as real sugar.  Just like 100% natural lime flavor is not 100% natural lime juice.
