Blue Moon in bottles had been marketed here since it came out. The wheat flavor is fine with me, but personally, I can't stand any citrus flavor added to beer.

I heard this citrus mess started when the old Coronas were served in Mexico. They originally had steel caps that left rust on the bottle. Bartenders would put a lime (or sometimes lemon) on the top of the bottle to wipe the rust off. They no longer have the rusting caps, but for some reason the Americanos thought you were supposed to put the lime IN the beer. It caused such a sales craze for Corona, their ads even promted the idea. Who cares if it ruins the taste of the beer, it made them lots of money!
