Buccaneer
A spirited upgrade to the classic summer beer, the Buccaneer combines the crispness of Corona with the zesty kick of Bacardi Limón for a refreshing, citrus-forward libation ideal for hot days.
What it tastes like
The aroma combines pale malt with a sharp, candy-like lemon scent. The palate features light grain flavors and a dominant citrus sweetness. It has a thin, highly carbonated mouthfeel and a dry, short finish with a lingering lime-zest acidity.
