I had some time to kill at The Fishbowl today so I decided to see what people on the web thought of one of the worlds worst beers: Corona. The following two reviews come from epinion.com:

Corona's been a fad among college students and yuppies for a while. Don't buy the hype! It's a flavorless, watery lager that probably only tastes good to Bud drinkers because it comes in a bottle instead of a can. The lime is only masking the bad smell, folks. And in case it didn't already taste terrible, that clear bottle will make it taste "skunky" in no time! (since exposure to light destroys beer's flavors.)
Try a real pale ale or a wheat if you want a summery thirst-quencher. Try a Negro Modela if you want a Mexican beer. But don't drink Corona.
2)Corona Extra is muy bueno!

Full Review
Nothing caps off a good 18 holes of golf quite like the cold, refreshing taste of a corona extra, with a lime of course. My favorite cerveza, corona extra goes down a lot smoother than some of its competitors such as Dos Equis and Tecate. There is nothing quite like the refreshment I get when I sip down a cold corona with lime, as it cools down your body and makes you remember why you like drinking beer in the first place. The perfect food to go with a corona extra is a plate of chicken quesadillas with guacamole. If you are not into Mexican food, pizza will do just fine with a cold corona. The price is a little lofty for a young man like myself at $12-$15 for a 12 pack, but for the quality it is just a small price to pay. You can find corona at just about any supermarket or local liquor store, and once you find it you will be saying "una mas cerveza para mi, por pavor"
Notice how reviewer number one brings up some interesting points about how Corona only seems to taste good to some people because it comes in a bottle. He also brilliantly notes how a clear bottle is a poor choice and how the lime only masks the shit flavor (afterall, what self-respecting beer company agressively promotes putting an extrememly strong flavoring agent, like a lime, into their "fine" product). The second reviewer is simply touting his yuppiness and regurgitating Corona's stupid advertising ploys.

Pros: It has some alcohol in it, which is good for what ails ya.
Cons: Weak, skunky flavor, and it costs more than Samuel Adams
Full Review: If you crack open a bottle of Busch (yes, you can find it in bottles) and insert a lime wedge, you'll find yourself sipping on a beer that tastes as good or better than Corona Extra.
i just had surgery. the doctor cut open my head, scooped out lots of my brain, dumped a bunch of cole slaw in there, and sewed me back up.
yo wtf is up with my review?? i need to change that.
Rating: 5/5 stars
Pros: yeah
Cons: ?
Full review: i don't know wtf corona means but when i have the $$$ i always buy it. plus check out mongo's corona summer fest goin on all summer. pz i'm out.
Besides I am so tired of these illegal immigrant beers coming across the border with their bad odor and confusing language.
I also have to say that you should post about how shitty Sam Adams is too. People are snowed into thinking this is really good beer simply because Sam Adams actually uses hops and not an organic solvent-extract of hops. If you need a rant to post, I'd be happy to supply one.
I like Sam Adams. Enough out of you Midwestern-Know-It-All-Beer-Snobs. See diff has spoken
Sam Adams is a C+ beer. End of story.
Sam Adams is a tasty brew. And like an old friend, it's always there in a pinch. It's hoppier than a rabbit and its robust flavor is as pleasing as a woman's touch. Sam Adams, as their commercials point out, is always a good decision. I look forward to sampling their Utopius variety, which I believe is the most alcoholic beer in the world (25%). Maybe we rate on different scales, but Rolling Rock is a C+ on mine, and Sam Adams is somewhere higher. Nevertheless I'd be happy to post your rant, Justin. I could probably be convinced of the inferiority of Sam Adams if your allegations hold water. I would be very interested to know where our brewer, patriot, and dear, dear friend, Mr. Sam Adams, has gone wrong.
What would an "A" beer be then? As far as commercial beers go, Sam is pretty good. Being in New England (and about 5 miles from one of it's breweries) the variety of Sam around here is mighty fine.
