Beer test results for Corona Extra

In a blind test, our beer tasters came to the following conclusions:
Appearance: Looks watery and light.
Aroma/Bouquet: Low intensity, somewhat skunky.
Taste: Strong carbonation, with a short, stale aftertaste.
Summary: Not recommended.

In a blind test of Corona Extra, our tasters commented:

“Cidery yet fresh but the bottom line is: this is watery piss.”
“Now this is a try-hard beer. It has a bad smell, it’s fizzy and it has an unpleasant aftertaste.”
“This is a light beer with a bit of cabbage smell. This beer is carried only by its fizz.”
“Doesn’t do it for me. Too little intensity of anything.”
“This is a flowery affair. Low intensity but acceptable.”

    bit of a try hard drink, stupid bottle design, with thin neck and thin body, makes it heat up quicker.
