so if you put more than one lime in your corona does that make you a fag?

11/2/2007 1:45:01 PM

yes, yes it does

11/2/2007 1:45:16 PM

DON'T FRUIT THE BEER

11/2/2007 1:47:20 PM

i always without question roll with an 1/8 slice of lime

perfect amount of lime flavor without ruining the delicate putridness of the corona

11/2/2007 1:47:26 PM

oh and by one lime I mean one lime slice, not the entire lime.

11/2/2007 1:49:43 PM

yeah, 1 lime max

11/2/2007 1:50:15 PM

it's funny to give a drunk a corona with a lime wedge too big to fit, like a 1/6 slice


oh yeah

1/12 slice ftw

now that's just risky to make...1/12th? i mean, come on.

not really

you just take a lime quarter and slice off a thin wedge

then slice what's left in half.

perfect size

if you put any lime in your beer, you're a fag.

^ i hate doing it, but i send a beer back. if i asked for 'no lime' i mean, no lime...and dont bring me the same bottle without the lime slice either, i'll just leave then.

DON'T FRUIT THA MOTHERFUCKING BEER YOU HOMO'S

11/2/2007 3:41:13 PM

it's not like we're putting strawberries and melons in it.




I think Lime is an exception.

11/2/2007 3:42:04 PM

fruit is fruit

besides, if you're drinking a beer that tastes like fruit or requires the addition of fruit, then you, by definition are a fruit.

11/2/2007 3:43:24 PM

maybe im just comfortable with my sexuality.




ill put a goddamn lime in my dos equis AND YOU WONT TRY TO STOP ME.

one lime is enough.

Ive seen people put grenandine in coronas...they're gay

I think if you put a lime up your ass that makes you a fag.

if you make a really gay thread, does that make you a fag?

i will only ever drink corona if it is offered to me by someone's parents who don't know any better

who else likes the freckled lemonade at Red Robin - that's lemonade with crushed strawberries in it

yum!

Don't fruit the beer.

11/3/2007 1:01:10 PM

If you drink corona at any time except on the beach you're a fag.

11/3/2007 1:04:22 PM

you guys have some serious issues

11/3/2007 1:06:14 PM

the only reason mexicans started putting limes on any mexican beer is to keep the flies out of it.

it has nothing to do with flavor

"It is common in Europe, the United States, Australia and Canada for Corona to be served with a slice of lime in the neck. This practice is less common in Mexico itself, outside of areas frequented by tourists[citation needed]. Corona's heavy media presence in the United States may be the reason for the disparity in the two beer cultures. Beer-lime combinations such as the Chelada and the Michelada are however, popular in Mexico[citation needed]. The reason for the lime is that hop compounds degrade when they come into contact with light. This causes beer in clear bottles to turn 'skunky.' The lime is used to mask this aroma. [3] Common myths surrounding the origin of the lime include: 1. The lime was originally to plug the neck of the bottle up to keep flies and other insects out of the beer. 2. The lime was used to clean the top of the bottle to ensure it was sanitary before drinkers would put their lips to the glass. The acidity of the lime juice was believed to kill anything that could be harmful to tourists (actually, not very likely). Over time tourists began to push the lime into the bottle, which brings us to today's common occurrence of adding lime to Corona. 3. The lime was used to clean the neck of the bottle from the rusty remains of the bottle cap. In the early days the bottle caps were made very simply and often left rust stains on the bottle neck, leading to a rather bad taste. In Korea, slices of lemon are widely used in place of lime slices because limes are not widely available and are quite expensive in East Asia [citation needed]. In the Philippines, half a calamansi is used in place of lime. The calamansi is a close relative of the lime native to the Philippines which is similar in appeance and taste. In Australia, either a slice of lemon or a slice of lime is used, and, depending on what the bar has, patrons are often given a choice of either lemon or lime with lemon being more popular in most bars.[citation needed]. In 1998, Eurocermex began trying to register the image of a clear bottle with a slice of lime in the neck as a community trade mark, but on June 30, 2005, the European Court of Justice rejected it as indistinctive. The outline of a bottle with a slice of lime can be seen in Corona POS Merchandise, as well as the European Corona website. Interestingly, there are no images of bottles with limes on the Mexican Corona website. The traditional lime is being replaced or supplemented with a shot of grenadine among the hip-hop community. This is known as a "Candy Corona" or a "Red Corona" and is particularly popular in Indiana. "

"Skunky Beer in a Whole New Light by Cate House In less than 20 minutes, light can sully a beer. (click image to enlarge) f you’ve ever tried to drink a beer that’s been sitting on the shelf a little too long, you’ve no doubt experienced that "skunky" taste beer can have. Malcolm Forbes, professor of chemistry, explains that the photodegradation of beer—the culprit behind the skunky taste—is similar to what happens to paint when it is exposed to light over long periods of time and begins to fade in color. Light causes the molecules in paint to break apart, and this creates free radicals—molecules with unpaired electrons—which are highly reactive, changing the composition of the paint and consequently it’s color. Forbes first got the idea for studying the photochemistry of beer after giving a conference talk on a technique known as time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (TREPR) that his lab uses for investigating all sorts of thermal and photochemical reactions involving free radicals. For example, his lab is working on a project aimed at figuring out how free radicals move in soaps. By placing free radicals in an oil drop and then watching to see how they react, researchers can understand better, for instance, how free radicals do damage to cell walls. After Forbes gave his talk, Denis De Keukeleire, a chemist from the University of Ghent in Belgium, went up to him and wanted to know if he was interested in using TREPR to study the photochemistry of beer. Of course he was interested. Being a beer connoisseur himself, Forbes could mix business with pleasure, so to speak. So the two, along with a couple doctoral students, set out to show for the first time real proof of the degradation of beer in sunlight. Their first clue was the hops, as beer made without hops does not generate that skunky taste. With funding and hop compounds provided by brewing companies, the team used TREPR to figure out what happens chemically to hops when exposed to light. As the light source for the TREPR experiments, the researchers use high-powered ultra-violet excimer lasers, which produce unfocused beams strong enough to give you a sunburn if you were to point them at your hand. To test the hop compounds, researchers aim a laser beam at the sample, and free radicals form. Then on a very short time scale—about 100 nanoseconds—the spectrometer captures the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal that provides information on both the structure and kinetics (how quickly the sample changes) of the hops sample. "This is what you call fast high-resolution spectroscopy," Forbes says, "Because you get a lot of structural information very quickly." From those experiments, the researchers were able to figure out exactly when free radicals form within the hop compounds, known as isohumulones. They also worked out the radicals’ chemical structures. "What we found is that the isohumulones are extremely light sensitive," Forbes says, "and they break down very quickly into free radicals that are then trapped by sulfur sources, which come from proteins in the beer that turn the free radicals into a compound known as a thiol. And that thiol happens to be structurally related to the thiol found in the glands of a skunk. Hence, the skunky taste." What’s more is that the human nose and tongue are very sensitive to even low concentrations of the thiols created from the free radicals. "A few parts per trillion can make beer unpalatable," Forbes says. "And a glass of beer exposed to light for even less than twenty minutes can turn skunky." So now that they’ve found the culprit, they just need to solve the other part of the mystery—how to keep those free radicals from forming so quickly. "Of course the best solution we offer is to drink your beer as fast as possible," Forbes says with a grin. hile brewers typically bottle beer in brown bottles to prevent light from getting in, it would be cheaper and easier to recycle beer bottles if they were clear glass. And beer makers are working on that. Forbes explains that some producers such as Miller Genuine Draft and Newcastle Brown Ale use what’s called a modified hop product in which they extract certain compounds from the hops and chemically modify it so that it is no longer photochemically active. "But according to beer purists—such as a particular group of Germans—that product is no longer considered beer," Forbes says. "In addition to giving beer its bitter flavor, it’s the hops that provides for the stability of the foam in the head and inhibits bacterial growth." There’s also Corona, which does not contain a modified hop product but, instead, is boxed to exclude light. "What we really need to do," Forbes says, "is to protect beer by developing a process that will alter and retard the photochemical process but retain the original flavor, and some of my Belgian collaborators are working on that right now." Even cheaper would be to manufacture beer in plastic bottles. To do that, though, researchers first need to figure out how to prevent organic material from the polymer (plastic) from leaching into the beer, which affects its flavor. "Once we solve that problem," Forbes says, "I believe plastic bottles will be the next big thing for the beer industry." This research was first published in the November 5, 2001 issue of Chemistry, a European journal. Funding for the research was provided by the National Science Foundation and the Interbrew-Baillet Latour Foundation of Leuven, Belgium. "
