Corona Extra is a globally-loved Mexican pale lager brewed by Grupo Modelo, first introduced in 1925. Known for its straw-gold color and light body, this beer features gentle malt sweetness and minimal hop bitterness. It pours with moderate carbonation and is famously served with a wedge of lime in the neck of the bottle. With about 4.5 – 4.6% ABV, Corona delivers an easy-drinking, refreshing experience—especially ideal on hot days, at the beach, or alongside casual meals.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Pale straw yellow, clear and bright, with a thin, white head that dissipates relatively quickly.
-
Aroma: Mild malt and corn sweetness, with subtle hints of grain and a touch of vegetal or herbal hop notes.
-
Palate: Light and crisp—sweet malt and a smooth grain base up front, very low bitterness, clean mouthfeel.
-
Finish: Clean, mild, slightly dry finish; the lime (if used) adds a citrus lift that enhances freshness.
ABV: ~4.5 – 4.6%
Serving Suggestions: Best served ice-cold from the bottle, often with a fresh lime or lemon wedge; also lovely over ice. Pairs well with seafood (ceviche, fish tacos), light lime-based dishes, spicy salsas, Mexican or Asian salads, and summery outdoor meals.
