Pros: Easy to drink, high alcohol content Cons: Nothing like beer
The clear malt beverage, Zima has been manufactured and distributed by Coors since 1992. It's acceptance amongst consumers is very puzzling when one recalls the lack of success Crystal Pepsi received when put on the market around the same time. Around ...

Pros: Nice light citrus taste. Cons: Too light for most beer drinkers.
This review is on Zima Citrus, there is no separate category for this at this time, but if one is added I will be moving this review.
I was first introduced to Zima in 1994 at the U.G.L.Y. Bartender Contest banquet. The contest is...

Pros: You can really drink this stuff like water. Nice, wide-mouthed 22 ounce bottles. Cons: Hmmm... I really don't hate the stuff. Just like other beverages better.
I haven't tried this soda -- I mean malt beverage -- in years. I tried it once in 1994. Bought a six-pack, drank it, and never went back to it.
Now, after seven years, I picked up a couple of 22-ounce bottles and am giving this one a fresh...

Pros: You could smash the creators over the head with the huge bottles. Cons: I don't wanna be gross, but I think this product used to be known as 'Castor Oil'.
Back when Zima was a relatively new product, it was considered a sometimes tasty alcoholic drink, sort of like a dessert. I certainly never knew anyone who'd sit down and drink an entire case of this stuff! If you were purchasing a six-pack of Zima,...

Pros: Light, citrus taste that is really refreshing. Cons: None
OK, so I'm not a beer drinker. As far as I am concerned, beers, ales and malts are BEER to me. I am not an expert and I am not a big drinker, however, I have become quite a fan of ZIMA.
Years ago some friends from England introduced me to a...

Pros: Great mixer, easy to drink Cons: Don't drink it alone (take that how you need to)
Okay, if you are reading this you probably already know what Zima is (a malt beverage made by Coors). You probably know what Zima tastes like (alkaseltzer). You definately know if you like it of not...but for some strange reason you want to know what...

Pros: Some people seem to enjoy it... Cons: ....but I sure as heck don't!
Let me start this review by insisting that in general I enjoy the flavor of "alternative" brewed alcoholic beverages. Whether it be Woodchuck Hard Cider or a bottle of Orange Hooch, the character and variety of these non-conformist drinks is...

Pros: Crisp and refreshing Cons: Higher cost than beer or wine coolers
I'm not a beer drinker. I never drank beer while I was at home, in a restaurant, or a bar. I guess I thought beer was more of a "guy" drink. I didn't care for the taste. My husband would drink his Coors, and I would have "Absolut and...

Pros: Wonderfully refreshing drink, nice alternative to beer and wine coolers Cons: Too glacial to enjoy in the winter!
Zima has been my beverage of choice for many many summers now. It's so refreshing, ice cold beer can't match it! Sometime around the middle of May, my taste buds start going wild for Zima and I just can't seem to get enough. Zima is a...

Pros: removes those nasty tar stains from your sandals Cons: cockroaches in the kitchen refuse to touch it
I entered the bar early in the afternoon. It was deserted. I clutched my trenchcoat tightly around my shoulders and adjusted my dark glasses. Furtively I approached the barman.
"Zima," I whispered, like they do on all the commercials hoping...

Pros: Nice flavor Cons: Sneaks up on you
Not so long ago, I went to a party at a friends house and they told me that they were supplying the booze. I think, nice, I don't I have buy anything or drink beforehand. Then I got there and discovered that the only thing on the "free" label...

Pros: It'll die out one day. Cons: Bottled trash.
Get that stuff away from me! If I wanted a damn bottle of Sprite, I'd go to the store and get damn bottle of Sprite! You can go to hell!
-- Typical reaction from Stinky 138 when presented with Zima
Some of the worst...

Pros: Fruity, light, NOT A BEER. Cons: None, wonderful flavor.
I saw all the Zima adds and wondered what the heck this tuff really was. Well when Zima first came out it was too expensive for me to try, and so I kind of forgot it. I passed Zima off as a SoHo, trendy, yuppie expensive drink to be forgotten. Well...

Pros: Kind of refreshing on a hot day. Great for the ladies. Cons: Guys,if you're drinking this, check to see if you have a vagina.
What is Zima? Is it beer without the golden color? Is it Sprite with a little kick? Or is it a marketing ploy to look cool? My guess would be the last one and perhaps a combination of the other two as well.
Zima is a marketing gimmick if I...

Pros: Readily available, often given away free apparently Cons: Tastes like swill; you may need vaccinations after drinking it
Zima is, in a word, swill.
I have spent a great deal of time, indeed all told many weeks of my life, in wetlands, marshes and bogs. In the course of my many expeditions, I have on a few occasions wound up with brackish swamp water in my...
