It's really not just light beer. Think of all the Corona that is sold.

If i thought all beer tasted like warm goat piss, I wouldn't be drinking it. ;)

I didn't know American beer had any taste, except of course the microbrews, some of which are excellent.
This (http://www.greatbeer.co.uk/berbe.htm) is my favourite local watering hole. I have a visitor from the US on January 4/5, and will be bringing him here. I missed places like this when I lived away from England.

To appreciate Corona you have to be in a tropical setting with lots of cool ocean breezes with a hot sun and lots of hot women around.
If you drink it down in your mom's basement while trying to impress strippers on a BBS and while trolling a Flight Sim message board while sitting naked at your computer with crumbs from a giant bag of Doritos on your large protruding stomach and underwear then I can see how you might not like it.

Why? so the hot women and cool ocean breezes distract your tastebuds? So your other brain is so overloaded that the top brain doesn't comprehend that there's absoulutely nothing in the bottle?
I'd think you'd appreciate the the hot women and cool ocean breezes even MORE if you were drinking a real beer at the time.

You know I was just making a joke but at the same time there is a real connection between the enviroment you have food and drink it and how much you enjoy it.
My first Corona was in Bali Indonesia at a resort during one of the better vacations I ever had. I remember it as cold and refreshing and the lime was a nice change I had never experienced before then. Indonesian beer is not that great although I drank a ton of it when I lived there. Perhaps by comparison Corona just tasted way better to me. I still like it.
At the same time I just cannot drink some of the beers I used to love during university days. The smell and taste bring back memories of badly hung over day afters and other such memories.
My taste has changed over the year. I like crisper beers now. Saporo from Japan is like that if you have ever tried it. But I drink Molson Canadian and Alexander Keith's mostly because they are almost as nice and a lot less expensive.
Craft beers rarely do it for me. Either they are not carbonated enough or they have the alcohol taste that really brings back bad memories of Bintang in cans.
-
The "you" was generic; guess I should have made that more clear, sorry.
Yeah, but I'll take Kirin over Asahi or Sapporo. Neither of those appeals to me. Tsing Tao is better yet.
San Miugel? Don't like it? Try another bottle, they're all different!
Fix or Amstel in Greece? Amstel by a mile. Fix is a lot like San Miguel? "Don't like it? Try another bottle!"
Throughout most of Europe I tried to get Carlsberg XXX or Elephant. ;)
I've been a few places, tried most of their beers. I used to say all are good or any beer is better than no beer at all. But it's a real stretch to say that last one, given the amount of purely bad beer out there now.
Drink what you enjoy. Enjoy what you drink. Don't worry about what the other guy drinks!!

Glad your experience taught us something.

Judgeing from your Avatar I can see that you really know your food and beverage.
;)

Your getting old and losing you taste buds. Put some salt in it...

Tell me exactly what my avatar tells you habu, im curious.

Why are you curious?

Habu - I'm fascinated to see that you lived in Indonesia. My one and only crossing of the equator was to Indonesia - first to Jakarta, and then I took my life in my hands by flying Garuda to Denpasar. I spent 6 days in Bali, and drank a lot of bottled Bintang. The golden rule I had was to drink nothing from open containers, no drinks with ice, and no drinks from vessels that had been washed in the local tap water. That narrowed it down to bottled Bintang - straight out of the bottle. Can't trust the water out there - was taking no chances even though I'd been immunised against Hepatitis A before going on that trip.
I had a couple of "interesting" evenings at Top Gun at Blok-M in Jakarta. ;)
-
You made me curious.
-
BTW.. I changed it for you dear.
-
Hmmm sway. I would have looked pretty foolished if I had described your old one and then you had changed in on me. ;)
Beetle I lived there for almost 5 years. I lived in a place called Mura Badak which is just south of the equator on the east side of Kalimantan for almost 2 years, then in Jakarta for a year then in a place called Prabamulih which is in the middle of Sumatra and finally in Bogar (north of Jakarta) for a year.
I drank tons of iced drinks, ate local food (even from vendors) for years, brushed my teeth out of the tap and never got sick once. Used to play golf all the time even in Prabumulih. I was a member of the local golf club there. I still have a membership to a club called Karawang International near Jakarta. It cost $60,000 then and is probably worth $6 today.
I still go there all the time. Will probably go again in Feb on business.
Bintang in bottles is the worst beer as they put a preservative in it. Used to give everyone a wicked headache. Now Bintang (especially draft) is considered better than Anchor but I lived way out in the boonies so no draft and the beer was warm for months until it was sold. I used to drink Anchor. When I was feeling rich I would go to a supermarket that sold imported beer and buy Japanese or Austrailian or Kiwi beer.
I used to go to the TopGun all the time. I even dated a girl who worked there. I remember watching the Toronto Blue Jays win the world series at 5 am while sitting in the Top Gun eating a buffet breakfast and drinking beer. I was the ohly guy cheering for the Jays. Everyone else was American.

Corona is not beer. Its a refreshment drink, and a very good one. Just dont think of it as beer.
As for my favorite beer, give me Bass Pale Ale any moment and I'll be a happy drunk.
Guiness is over-rated, and Heineken is acceptable.
-
Killian's Irish Amber is my latest favorite...good stuff. There arent a lot of beers I like. Corona is one of them as well.
Prefferred: Captain Morgan's & Coke ;)
