The beer is not that important -- something in a cheap American pilsner is probably best. Squeeze in the juice of a small lime and add sacharine, wch dissolves very quickly (versus sugar). Serve with ice. Goes very well with spicy fried fish or boiled shrimp. A word of warning: the sacharine makes the beer foam vigorously, so be careful.
